New Delhi, July 31
Rajya Sabha member Satnam Singh Sandhu on Wednesday raised the long-pending issue of speedy completion of the Military Academy at Shri Anandpur Sahib in Punjab.
Former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee had announced the construction of a military academy at Shri Anandpur Sahib during celebrations of the 300th foundation day of the Khalsa Panth in Anandpur Sahib itself.
Speaking during Zero Hour, Sandhu said, “Sri Anandpur Sahib holds historical significance for the city’s Punjabi community and the Sikh community. This holy city is one of the five most important religious places for the Sikhs. It was here that Guru Gobind Singh established the Khalsa Panth on the day of Baisakhi in 1699,” Sandhu said. — 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).
