Amritsar January 8

Activists of several trade unions associated with Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) staged demonstration at Deputy Commissioner’s office to support the farmers’ protest here on Friday. The office-bearers of industrialist labour union, Asha workers, anganwadhi workers, Lal Jhanda Pendu Chunkidar Union, Lal Jhanda Bhatha Mazdoor Union, MGNREGA workers, municipal employees and Bhartiya Khet Mazdoor Sabha resented the farm laws and raised anti-government slogans.

The activists also conducted a protest rally and presented themselves for arrest.

Jeet Ram, district president CITU, stated that farmers have been protesting against the contentious laws for last several months. The government is not showing any concern towards their demands. The anti-farmer laws should be repealed.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
