A play by Pali Bhupinder, Mitti Da Bawa is directed by Heera Singh. The play is set against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan.

The story of the play revolves around two soldiers from different nations — Indian Gurbaksh Singh and Pakistani Shah Nawaz — who meet each other in a burnt village in the jungle when trying to escape from the attack of a tribal group.

The play brought to fore the way people seek love and camaraderie and undergo heartbreak amidst the ravages of war.

The Punjabi Theatre Festival is set to feature Amarjit Grewal’s latest play, ‘Deihi’ on Tuesday evening.

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).
