Chandigarh, June 27

Gangster-turned-activist Lakhvir Singh alias Lakha Sidhana and Rajinder Singh Deep Singh Wala, vice president Kirti Kissan Union, have been booked by the Chandigarh Police following the farmers’ protest march in Chandigarh.

A case under Sections 186, 188, 332, 353, 147, 148 and 149 of the IPC has been registered at Sector 17 police station.

Police said that another case has been registered against Punjabi singer Jass Bajwa and actress Sonia Mann, who were also part of the protest march.

A large number of farm activists and leaders of farmers’ unions had marched into Chandigarh on Saturday.

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).
