Tasbeer Singh, a farmer from Buraj village, was booked for burning paddy straw in his fields on Saturday. Assitant sub-inspector Gursahib Singh said the farmer burnt paddy straw on his two acres land.

The Sarai Amanat Khan police was informed by Gurmeet Singh, cluster in-charge, Gandiwind block, about burning of crop residue by the farmer. Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana, had informed Gurmeet about paddy straw being set on fire by the farmer. The farmer was booked under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

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).
