Bathinda, February 23

A farmer who was protesting at the Khanauri border died on Thursday night.

Darshan Singh, 62, was a resident of Amargarh village in Bathinda district.

The reason behind the death will be ascertained after the post-mortem.

According to information, Darshan fell unconscious at around 11 pm on Thursday.

After his health deteriorated, Darshan was given treatment at Community Health Centre at Parray and later shifted to Government Rajindra Hospital in Patiala, where he was declared dead.

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).
