Amritsar, February 18

A rally was organised by the Punjab Students’ Union (Lalkaar) against illegal arrest of labour activist Nodeep Kaur, climate activist Disha Ravi, and the Centre’s crackdown on farmers against the three agri laws.

Students from various departments participated in the protest. Student activist Navjot said, “The three agri laws are an attack on the rights of people and a step towards destroying public distribution system (PDS). Therefore, everybody should raise their voice against these laws and actively participate in the struggle.”

Students sang revolutionary song ‘Uth jawan’ while sharing their views on farmers’ stir and the crackdown on activists.

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).
