A portion of the memorial of Sardar Mahan Singh, father of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, had collapsed due to heavy rains in Pakistan's Gujranwala, an official said on Monday.

“Sardar Mahan Singh is regarded as a significant figure in the history of the subcontinent and Sikh heritage. A consultant will be hired for the restoration and repair of the ‘samadhi’ to preserve this historical heritag,” an official 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).
