The Chandigarh-Ambala National Highway at Lahru was blocked on Friday afternoon as farmers and workers of political parties, including Congress, SAD and AAP, protested against the three ordinances recently passed by the Parliament.

The traffic coming in from Ambala side on Jharmari-Naraingarh road, and traffic from the Chandigarh side on Lalru-Handesra road was diverted by the police to avoid any inconvenience to the commuters.

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).
