Ambala, November 23

The Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni) has withdrawn the call to block the NH-44 on Thursday, after a delegation led by union chief Gurnam Singh Charuni met Home Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday.

The BKU had given the call to block the highway at Mohra if the cases registered against the farmers during the farm agitation were not withdrawn by November 24.

Charuni said the home minister had assured them that directions had already been issued to withdraw the cases.

Following the assurance, it was decided not to block the highway, but the union would hold a rally and submit a memorandum in support of other demands.

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).
