Chandigarh, June 10

Former Member of Parliament Tarlochan Singh has been conferred with the Sikh of the Year Award by the executive committee of the Sikh Forum International (Coronation of King Charles III) in London.

Tarlochan Singh was born on July 28, 1933, in Dhudhial (now in Pakistan). He served as Press Secretary to former President Giani Zail Singh. His name is associated with the installation of a bust of Shaheed Bhagat Singh in Parliament.

He is a former chairman of the National Commission of Minorities. Tarlochan Singh is associated with amendment to the Anand Marriage Act, 1908.

“I appreciate the honour conferred on me. However, I could not make it to the event that was held on June 5,” said Tarlochan Singh.

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).
