One of the ‘abducted’ Sikh girls has been rescued and married to a Srinagar Sikh man. The 18-year-old girl from Badgam married Supreet at Rainawari Gurdwara Sahib in Srinagar today. The couple was shifted to New Delhi by DSGMC president Manjinder Singh Sirsa.

“She disclosed that she was kidnapped and threatened that her parents were behind the bars and would be freed only if she surrenders to their wish. Luckily, she was rescued,” he said.

Sirsa said another 28-year-old woman, who is said to passed through the identical circumstances, is still missing. SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur said the government should set up a minority commission in J&K.

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).
