Amritsar, September 5

The SGPC executive committee has decided to establish a printing press at Tracy City in California, US, to publish the ‘holy saroops’ of Guru Granth Sahib. It will also set up a religious preaching centre at Yuba City.

This was decided by a meeting of the SGPC executive committee chaired by SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami on Tuesday.

The executive termed the printing of voter forms only in Hindi for the HSGMC elections as a move to ignore Punjabi by the Khattar government. Slamming the ‘discriminatory’ move, Dhami said Punjabi was the second language in Haryana and even officials engaged to conduct the poll were not conversant with Punjabi.

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).
