Former Punjab Chief Minister and sitting Jalandhar Member of Parliament Charanjit Singh Channi are among the 17 MPs who will be honoured with the prestigious Sansad Ratna Award.

The award recognises outstanding contributions to parliamentary work, including participation in debates, raising of questions and involvement in legislative activities.

Channi is the chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture.

The former Punjab Chief Minister is being commended for highlighting farmer issues and proposing substantive agricultural reforms.

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).
