Mohali, September 16

Various farmers’ organisations held a protest march against the agriculture amendment ordinance and the Power Amendment Bill promulgated by the Centre.

The protesters, which started from Amb Sahib Gurdwara in Phase VIII, were heading to the Governor’s house in Chandigarh when they were stopped at Chandigarh-Mohali border near YPS Chowk. Bhartiya Kisan Union (Rajewal), Bharti Kisan Union (BKU- Lakhowal) and Bhartiya Kisan Union (Rajewal) were among other unions that took part in the procession.

They alleged that the Central Government wanted to sell the commodities to the corporate houses and demanded that the right price should have been given to the farmers instead. — 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).
