Fazilka, April 13

CPI activists today held a protest outside the District Administrative Complex, alleging unfair distribution of ration in the rural areas.

CPI’s district unit secretary Hans Raj Golden said reports of discrimination against the poor had come to the fore as ration was being given to Congress workers.

Sarv Bharat Naujawan Sabha state chief Parmjit Singh Dhaban, secretary Harbhajan Chhapriwala, block samiti member Subeg Singh Jhangar Bhaini, MGNREGA Rozgar Prapt Mazdoor Union district convener Narinder Singh Dhaban and Punjab Kisan Sabha president Krishan Dharmuwala sat on a dharna.

Golden said complaints of discrimination poured in from a number of villages.

Tehsildar Pawan Kumar and Naib Tehsildar Vijay Behal assured the activists that there would be equal distribution of ration. — OC

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).
