They built up the first municipal committee here as a model municipality and Mr. Dang was its president from 1953 to 1967, when he entered the Punjab Assembly after defeating the then Chief Minister Gurmukh Singh Musafir in Amritsar West, retaining the seat until 1980. He was a minister for a brief period in the first non-Congress ministry where he set a record for his honesty, efficiency and simple living. He and his wife stuck to Amritsar throughout the tragic years of terrorism, organizing the people, giving relief to victims of terrorism and building communal harmony. The Dangs set another example by voluntarily withdrawing from elective posts in the CPI and outside. In 1997, he was honored with the Padma Bhushan award., Contents:- From the Editors
