Nearly seven months after pro-Khalistani graffiti, slogans and flags appeared on the walls of Nehru Stadium in Faridkot — just days before Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was to hoist the National Flag there on Republic Day — the police have finally nominated one person as an accused in the case.

Resham Singh, who was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court in Faridkot on a production warrant from Ropar jail, has now been formally named in the FIR registered on January 23, 2025, under charges related to promoting secessionist propaganda.

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).
