Patiala, December 11

To celebrate the 99th birth anniversary of the late singer Mohammed Rafi, the Ramgarhia Cultural and Welfare Council (RCWC) organised a musical function in collaboration with the Royal Cultural and Welfare Society. More than 35 singers presented songs from the ‘golden era’ of Hindi film music.

The president of RCWC, Paramjit Singh Parwana and the president of the Royal Cultural and Welfare Society, Barinder Singh Khurl, were among the performers at the event.

Parwana demanded the state government to build a memorial for Mohammed Rafi at village Kotla Sultan Singh (his birthplace) and award him the “Punjab De Anmol Ratan”. He added the state government should help RCWC celebrate the birth centenary of the singer next year, on a large scale.

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).
