Following the announcement by Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and Samyukt Kisan Morcha, activists of these organisations are likely to organise a two-hour ‘rail roko’ agitation tomorrow. They are protesting on the third anniversary of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident, where eight people, including four farmers and a journalist, were killed in 2021 during a protest against the now-repealed three farm laws.

The rail rook is likely to further bring down the traffic movement from the Amritsar railway station, where several trains have already been cancelled, short originated, short terminated and diverted after redevelopment work carried out at the Jalandhar Cantonment railway station.

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).
