A docu-drama based on the life of Brig Pritam Singh has been adjudged as the Best Punjabi Documentary at the 12th Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival 2022 held recently at Noida.

The Saviour: Brig Pritam Singh has been produced by Chandigarh-based Karanvir Singh Sibia and has been written and directed by Dr Paramjeet Singh Kattu.

The 80-minute docu-drama captures the bravery of the Indian Army under the leadership of then Col Pritam Singh who led the 1 PARA Kumaon regiment and fought the battle of Shelatang with the Pakistan Army on November 7, 1947 and how they were able to recapture Baramullah, Uri, and later liberated 600 Poonch.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
