Chandigarh, July 24

The Chandigarh Police used water cannons on AAP leaders and volunteers as they tried to break the barricades during the party’s protest against violence in Manipur.

The party leaders and volunteers are not being allowed to leave the premises of the MLA hostel here. All Punjab ministers are present at the protest site.

The party leaders wanted to give a memorandum to the Punjab Governor but the police have not allowed them to proceed towards Governor House.

The police have asked a 5-member party delegation to come forward and give the memorandum to their senior officer, who will forward it to the Governor.

All AAP MLAs from Punjab were asked yesterday to get volunteers from their respective constituencies for the protest today.

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).
