Amritsar, November 19

The SGPC will undertake a mass signature campaign to get ‘Bandi Singhs’ released from jails from December 1. The decision was taken in a meeting here on Saturday.

SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said the campaign to secure the release of the ‘Bandi Singhs’ would continue. For this, a pro forma had been prepared which would be distributed to people. He said after collecting the endorsement of people, it would be submitted to the Punjab Governor.

“Pracharaks” (preachers) would be sent to different places to widen the ‘dharam prachar lehar’, he said.

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).
