Chandigarh, April 20

In a tribute to late Padma Shri and former Hazoori Ragi of Sri Darbar Sahib Bhai Nirmal Singh Khalsa, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Monday announced his government’s decision to name the upcoming ITI at Lohian (Shahkot) after him.

Khalsa had passed away due to coronavirus on April 2 at Amritsar.

Amarinder, in a condolence to the family on Sunday, said he was deeply saddened over the untimely demise of the great Ragi, who was an expert in all Ragas of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

Sharing his heartfelt sympathies with the bereaved family, relatives and friends, as well as the lakhs of Bhai Sahib’s admirers in Punjab, country and abroad, Amarinder said Khalsa dedicated his entire life to propagating Gurmat Sangeet by performing kirtan across the globe.

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).
