Abohar, September 28

Prof Jagmohan Singh, nephew of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, will on October 4 unveil a 6.6-ft tall, life-sized statue of the martyr at the renovated memorial on the old Tehsil Road here. It was initially developed in 1969 by the Labour Council.

The work of rejuvenation of the memorial is in the final stage. It had been undertaken by the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Social Forum. Unlike other chowks that have recently been renovated under Municipal Corporation’s project Kadam, no change has been made in the ground area of the memorial.

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).
