It’s been a month today since Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was brutally shot dead at his village in Mansa.

Meanwhile, a fan from Abohar has come to Musa village with his family to build a statue of the singer. The statue has been installed it in the field where Sidhu Moosewala was cremated.

The fan works as a labourer. He claimed that he was an ardent supporter and fan of Sidhu since a long time and to pay him tributes, he built the singer’s statue.

An appeal was made on the behalf of Sidhu’s family that whoever wished to pay tributes to the singer must plant a sapling in the field around the statue. After which, a large number of fans are reaching Musa village to plant a tree.

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).
