Chandigarh, September 4

Senior leaders and workers of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt) led by former Finance Minister and MLA Parminder Singh Dhindsa today gheraoed the residences of Punjab and Haryana Chief Ministers in Chandigarh.

The party workers raised slogans against PM Narendra Modi, Capt Amarinder Singh and Manohar Lal Khattar over the recent lathicharge on farmers. The Chandigarh Police tried to stop the protesters from entering the residence of both Chief Ministers by setting up barricades and using water cannons, leaving many workers seriously injured, who had to then be rushed to a hospital.

The party leaders even got engaged in a tussle with police officials in a bid to break the barricading, after which some leaders, including Dhindsa, were detained by the police. — TNS

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).
