Chandigarh, September 24

As Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman visited the city for a press meet at MLA Hostel, Sector 3, today, a group of farm activists of the Naujawan Kisan Ekta decided to march to the venue and protest. They were stopped near the Sector 3 police station and detained.

About 15 protesters were rounded up by the UT police and taken to the Sarangpur (Dhanas) police station, said Parteek Mann of the Naujawan Kisan Ekta. He added: “We were headed to the MLA Hostel, Sector 3, to stage a symbolic protest.” — 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).
