Sangrur, December 16

The SGPC today extended support to the protest the “illegal” transfer of its land to state government for the construction of Government Medical College (GMC) at Mastuana Sahib.

The SGPC has asked other religious organisations to support the protest and get the registration cancelled, which has been executed in the favour of government.

Two protests are taking place in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office — one protest is being staged demanding action against officers who got the land transferred, while the other protest is at Longowal, where residents are demanding the construction of GMC at fast pace.

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).
