The family members of farmer Amritpal Singh, who inadvertently crossed over to Pakistan on June 21, have been running from pillar to post to get him back to India.

Amritpal’s father Jugraj Singh, other family members, along with BJP national executive member Rana Gurmeet Singh Sodhi, met Governor Gulab Chand Kataria in Chandigarh recently.

They urged the Governor to intervene in the case for ensuring Amritpal’s safe return to India. Jugraj claimed the Governor assured support in the case. Jugraj said, “BSF officials have taken up the issue with Pak officials repeatedly, but to no avail so far.”

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).
