Chandigarh, July 1

Punjabi poet Gurdip was conferred with the Uttarakhand Sahitya Gaurav Samman here on Friday. A resident of Resham Majri village in Dehradun district, Gurdip is the first Punjabi litterateur to be conferred with the award instituted by the Uttarakhand Bhasha Sansthan for his contribution to poetry.

Gurdip, who has his roots in Surkhpur village of Kapurthala in Punjab, has been living in Uttarakhand since the past six decades. Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami bestowed the award on Gurdip.

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).
