Ludhiana: Ravinder Ranguwal, a noted personality in the filed of Punjabi culture, has come out with a new folk song titled “Ishq”.

The song was released at Punjab Agricultural University by the director of the communication department Dr Tejinder Singh Riar. 

Dr Riar said this folk song talks about “true love” and motivates us to connect to the Almighty. He also told that song has been written, directed and sung by Ravinder Ranguwal himself. 

This is really an appreciable task on the part of Ranguwal, added Dr Riar. 

On the occasion, Dr Apminderpal Singh Brar, Dr Simaranjit Kaur, Dr Anil Sharma, Dr Lovelish Garg, Ravinder Bhalluria of GADVASU were among those present.

Dr Brar said that there has been a trend of noisy music and lyrics these days and hoped that Ranguwal's song will give a soothing impact to the heart of music lovers. He said that the lyrics and music of the newly launched song will prove a milestone for the budding singers.
