Members of the District Bar Association of Chandigarh abstained from work today in protest against police action against one of their colleagues. The call to observe no-work day was given by the District Bar Association.

President of the Bar Association Ashok Chauhan said the association condemned police action and called for withdrawal of the FIR filed against the advocate.

The police had registered a case against the advocate when he visited Faida village to mediate in a land issue.

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).
