Chandigarh, February 1

A group of more than 80 people marched from Kisan Bhawan to the Neelam cinema here today, demanding justice for the Delhi gang rape victim. Members of various organisations, including the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Rakesh Tikait), Kisan Ekta, Chandigarh, Lok Bhalai Sevak Sanstha and the Lok Hitt Mission Barodi Toll Plaza, took part in the march.

Sonia, one of the organisers and member of the BKU (Tikait) , who also runs Astitva (an NGO for rape survivors), said, “It is preposterous how a woman in Delhi was harassed and allegedly gangraped. Is this the country we want to live in? As a woman, I feel it is important that we take to the streets and fight against such injustice against women.” —

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).
