Mohali, July 16

The hunger strike in support of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha at the main gate of Gurdwara Singh Shaheedan, Sohana, entered its 40th day today.

Satveer Singh Dhanoa, president, Nagar Punjabi Virsa Sabhyacharak Society, along with his companions sat on the hunger strike today.

Speaking on the occasion, Dhanoa said: “The three black laws passed by the Centre will not only harm the farmers but also the common man.”

He alleged that the Centre was imposing these laws on the farmers to “appease the industrialists”.

All of us should give our contribution in the historic peasant struggle which will be remembered for centuries to come, said Dhanoa.

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).
