Bathinda, September 10

Farmers held dharnas for several hours under the banner of the BKU (Sidhupur), demanding justice for the family of a farmer who died by suicide after being allegedly victimised by the Ludhiana land mafia.

Farmers blocked the Bathinda-Mansa road at Kotshamir village and the Bathinda-Chandigarh National Highway at Rampura and raised slogans against the state government and the police administration.

Rampura block president Bhola Singh said Ludhiana land mafia had grabbed seven acres of farmer Sukhwinder Singh, who ended life by suicide on August 11.

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).
