Shillong, October 14

Accusing the state government of acting “beyond its jurisdiction” in trying to relocate Sikh community members from Them lew Mawlong area (Punjabi Lane) here, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee today sought Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik’s intervention to stop the proposed eviction.

The gurdwara mommittee panel met Malik at the Raj Bhavan and handed over a memorandum, pointing out that there would be no solution to the problem without his intervention.

DSGMC president Manjinder Singh Sirsa said the proposed relocation might lead to communal violence. “We hope… you will intervene on the submission made and provide the long-time Harijan community settlers in Shillong an immediate solution,” the memorandum said. — PTI

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).
