What Is Daily Hamdard?
Daily Hamdard is a Punjabi-language daily serving Punjab's Doaba belt from Jalandhar, with a secondary bureau in Chandigarh covering the tricity region. It carries the Hamdard name within Punjabi-language media — a name that traces back to 1991, when the group's flagship weekly launched on Vaisakhi (13 April) under founder Amar Singh Bhullar. What began as a diaspora-facing weekly has grown into a wider Punjabi-language media network spanning print, a daily e-paper and a satellite/cable television channel.
That heritage is what makes Daily Hamdard distinctive among Punjab's regional dailies: alongside its domestic Jalandhar and Chandigarh print readership, it sits within a media network that is genuinely followed by Punjabi NRI households in Canada, the USA and other countries with large Punjabi communities. For advertisers, that combination means a single Doaba-region booking can carry visibility that reaches beyond Punjab's borders — particularly useful for matrimonial, property and community announcements where the reader may live abroad while the family remains in Jalandhar or Chandigarh.
💡 NRI matrimonial strategy: Daily Hamdard's connection to a Punjabi diaspora network active across Canada and the United States makes it a strong pick for NRI matrimonial and property-alliance ads. For maximum domestic Doaba-region reach alongside it, we often pair a Daily Hamdard booking with Ajit or Punjabi Tribune in one combined order. Book a combined Punjabi package →
