The Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) held a meeting at Pidi village near here to strengthen farmers’ agitation. On the occasion, the farmer leaders stated that leaders of the ruling party would not be allowed to enter villages.

The KMSC also announced that corruption in public offices would not be tolerated and the union would hold protests outside government offices from where complaints regarding harassment of applicants are received.

KMSC leader Satnam Singh Pannu said, “The government is trying to muzzle the voice of farmers and labourers. We want to make it clear that police action and high-handedness would only strengthen public movement.”

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).
