Mohali, August 14

Qaumi Insaaf Morcha today took out a symbolic march towards the Punjab Chief Minister’s house from the dharna site near the YPS chowk demanding the release the Sikh prisoners who have completed their jail term in terror-related cases.

However, they were stopped at the Sector 52-53 intersection, where they held a religious congregation. The morcha has requested religious as well as farmer leaders to reach Mohali on August 15 to press for their demands.

Meanwhile, police personnel were deployed at the site in large numbers. It has been eight months that one of the main roads between Mohali and Chandigarh has been closed to traffic due to the protest. Residents and road users face a lot of inconvenience. The Punjab Government and the Chandigarh Administration have been facing the flak from citizens for failing to resolve the issue.

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).
