Khalistani flags were seen waiving atop a water tank at Goindwal Sahib, 25 km from here, today.

Slogans in favour of ‘Referendum-2020’ were reportedly written on a board near the tank, which is located near Gurdwara Chaubacha Sahib in the town. Some residents said the flags were waived during the annual mela which concluded two weeks back though others said they had seen the flags only today. SSP Dhruman H Nimbale said the flags were saffron in colour but not of Khalistan. They were were installed during the annual mela. He said the persons who wrote the slogans would be identified and action would be taken against them.

The Goindwal Sahib township is called ‘Sikhi Da Dhura’ (central point) where thousands of devotees come daily to pay their obeisance at Gurdwara Baoli Sahib.

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).
