Amritsar, September 27

Farmers unions have announced to block rail routes for three hours on October 3 to mark the anniversary of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence incident.

The farmers stated that the mastermind behind the violence, Ajay Mishra, who is a Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, had still not been sacked by the Centre.

Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee general secretary Sarwan Singh Pandher said: “Most of the promises made by the Centre, on the basis of which farmers had ended their protest on Delhi borders, still remain unfulfilled.”

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).
