Farmers blocked roads at many places across the state on Monday as part of their Punjab bandh call, affecting the traffic.

The bandh will be observed till 4 pm.

Farmers observed a sit-in at Dhareri Jattan toll plaza which affected the vehicular movement on the Patiala-Chandigarh highway.

At Amritsar's Golden Gate, farmers started to assemble near the city's entry point while in Bathinda's Rampura Phul, they blocked roads.

Reports of the shutdown of shops and business establishments were received from Mohali, Patiala, Ludhiana, Moga, Ferozepur, Bathinda, Hoshiarpur, Amritsar and Jalandhar.

The impact of the shutdown was more effective in rural areas where farmers, carrying their outfits' flags, closed almost all roads.

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).
