Bathinda, March 21

Scores of farmers under the banner of BKU (Ekta Ugrahan), staged a protest in front of the district administrative complex in Bathinda over non-fulfilment of promises made to the SKM at the time of repeal of three farm laws; a legal guarantee of MSP and cancellation of FIRs registered against farmers among others.

The union leaders later submitted a memorandum of demands addressed to Prime Minister via Bathinda DC.

Union’s state senior vice-president Jhanda Singh Jethuke said: “If the Centre continues to adopt silence on the matter, then it may have to face farmers’ ire again.” —

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).
