Chandigarh, August 24

The UT police today registered an FIR in connection with a woman farm activist being allegedly manhandled during Union Minister Anurag Thakur’s visit to Chandigarh on August 19.

The FIR was registered after a 15-member committee comprising farm unionists and heads of several villages in and around Chandigarh met the city SSP and demanded proper redressal of the complaint filed by the woman activist. — 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).
