Jasbir Singh of Khussopur village had returned from Delhi protests a fortnight ago and participated in a dharna staged outside the residence of Rajya Sabha MP Shwait Malik here.

Bhindi Saida police station SHO Ajaypal Singh said Jasbir had been put on a ventilator and his condition was critical. Jasbir’s family claimed he was upset at the Centre’s stance on the farm laws, he said. Meanwhile, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee today cremated a farmer, Ratan Singh Kotli, at his native Kotali Dhole Sah village near Kathunangal here. — TNS

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).
