A woman farmer,

Balwinder Kaur (55), a resident of Walipur village in Tarn Taran district, died during the farmers’ struggle at Shambhu border on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday. She is the 19th farmer who sacrificed her life during the second phase of the Delhi Morcha.

Satnam Singh Manochahal, district president of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC), Punjab, said the deceased complained of uneasiness last night and was taken to the Civil Hospital in Rajpura where she breathed her last soon after she was admitted to the hospital.

The deceased had gone to the Shambhu border just three days ago as women farmers were playing a leading role during the morch.

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).
