Amritsar, August 1

Various farmer unions, including the Jamhuri Kisan Sabha, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Naujwan Sabha, Pendu Mazdoor Sabha and Central Trade Union, staged a protest in front of the Jandiala police station alleging inaction on their part in crime incidents in the area.

The protesters also took out a march and raised slogans against the government demanding that the police officials should also be made accountable to the general public. Farmers’ leaders Gurmej Singh Timmowal, Baldev Singh Saidpur, Amrik Singh Dawood, Jagtar Singh Karampura, and Palwinder Singh Mehsampur stated that miscreants attacked the house of Bakhtawar Singh, a resident of Rasulpur, and injured his wife, but the police allegedly under pressure from a DSP, who belongs to the same village, took no 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).
