Its first issue appeared on 3 February 1989. Is still continued today now in the form of E-Newspaper with the name of SajjanLahore.com, but it was discontinued after that because of financial constraints caused by a lack of advertising revenue from the government and the private sector.[3] It was a venture of Punjabi Promotion Trust.
