    An Indo-Canadian journalist has been felicitated in Ottawa by the community members for her outstanding achievements in the media.
     
    Adrienne Batra, Toronto Sun newspaper's editor-in-chief, received the "Best Journalist Award" on Friday at 'Parvasi Awards' organised by the Parvasi Media Group.
     
    The Parvasi Media Group established in 2005 to honour the accomplishments of successful Punjabi Canadians in various fields.
