LUDHIANA, JUNE 29:-----



Punjabi culture is known for its values. Serene music has been a strength of our culture. It is a pity that that the contemporary music is becoming a noise with undesirable elements intruding in it. This was stated by Mr. Tarlochan Singh, former Chairman of National Commission for Minority and Member Parliament. He was interacting with participants of a function held at GGN Institute of Management and Technology, Ludhiana to release a new audio CD of noted Punjabi poet, Trailochan Lochi. The CD named \'Sarvar\' has eight ghazals in the melodious voice of Lochi himself. S. Tarlochan Singh said that the companies dealing with audio and video cassettes, TV channels, singers and lyricists have a great social responsibility to maintain the richness of our culture through permitting only neat and clean songs.

Dr. S.P.Singh, former Vice-Chancellor of Guru Nanak Dev University appreciated the zeal with which Lochi composes and sings his ghazals. S. Jagdev Singh Jassowal, Chairman of Prof. Mohan Singh Foundation described Lochi as promising poet and singer. The former Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha, Mr. Charanjit Singh Atwal said that the public too should discourage sub-standard and undesirable songs. Member Parliament, Mr. Balwinder Singh Bhunder described Lochi as \'Pride of Malwa\' and said that he should continue with his voice to denounce social evils such as female foeticide and uphold the cultural values. Mr. Amarjit Singh Chawla, former Member Punjab Public Service Commission congratulated Lochi for his literary contributions.



Mr. Gurbhajan Singh Gill, President of Punjab Sahit Akademy said that Lochi is poet of great promise.
