Amritsar, February 22

While condemning the use of fire power on farmers at the Khanauri and Shambhu borders by the Haryana Police and Central forces, the joint platform of the Central Trade Unions have given a call for observing a black day across the country on February 23.

The platform includes organisations such as the Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC), All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), Hind Mazdoor Sabha, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), All India United Trade Union Centre (AIUTUC), Self Employed Women’s Association, All India Central Council of Trade Unions (AICCTU), Labour Progressive Federation (LPF) and United Trade Union Congress (UTUC). The purpose of the protest is to condemn the police action.

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).
