Phagwara, April 24

In an exemplary way, while obeying curfew orders and maintaining social distancing, a marriage was solemnised here on Wednesday.

Sukhwinder Singh, a resident of Nawanpind village, near Goraya, took curfew permission and reached Phagwara with his family members on Wednesday. He got married with Khushbir Kaur, a local resident, at the Bhagatpura gurdwara in the presence of only 10 family members from both sides.

Satnampura Station House Officer (SHO) Usha Rani honoured both families for obeying the lockdown orders by organising a simple wedding. The SHO arranged a special cake for the couple, who cut the same in the presence of police personnel.

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).
