New Delhi, November 2

The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) has sought details from 10 states and UTs on the action taken against the accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases.

Iqbal Singh Lalpura, chairperson, has written to the Chief Ministers of Delhi, J&K, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Uttrakhand, Delhi, Bihar and West Bengal, seeking details on the riots after a Sikh delegation met him.

The delegation flagged that many of the accused have not been punished yet.

The commission’s enquiries include the number of persons convicted, killed, injured and details of property damaged.

The NCM has sought details of compensation awarded to the victims and police officials against whom action was taken.

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).
