Kurukshetra, February 28

Leaders of the four communities, including Ror, Jat Sikh, Bishnoi and Tyagi, have demanded the special backward class (SBC) status for themselves in a meeting held at the Ror Dharamshala here today.

Naseeb Singh Karsa, president of All India Ror Mahasabha, said a 110-member delegation from all the four communities will meet Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday to raise their long-pending demand.

Karsa said a unanimous resolution condemning large-scale violence during the Jat agitation was also passed at the meeting.

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).
