Chandigarh, September 4

Member of Parliament Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa has asked Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to speed up investigation into the killing of 127 Sikhs in anti-Sikh riots of 1984 in UP.

In a letter to the Chief Minister, Dhindsa said it was unfortunate that an SIT formed by the Yogi government had not done anything regarding the probe. He said the SIT had not even met the victim families, the witnesses or representatives of the All India Riot Relief Committee.

He said committee’s president Kuldeep Singh Bhogal had given several representatives in this regard but to no avail. — TNS

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).
