Patiala Lok Sabha MP Dharamvira Gandhi has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting for the reopening of the Kartarpur Corridor, which was closed last month in the wake of the border tensions between India and Pakistan.

As a member of Parliament’s Standing Committees on Railways, Gandhi highlighted numerous appeals from Punjabis, particularly Sikhs, who are eager to visit Kartarpur Sahib, the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev.

In his letter, Gandhi stressed that the corridor, inaugurated in 2019 to mark the 550th birth anniversary of the first SIkh Guru, stood as a powerful symbol of peace and religious unity. BJP leader Gurtej Singh Dhillon has also written to Modi requesting for the reopening of the corridor.

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).
