Mohali, January 26

A huge march was taken out by activists seeking release of ‘Bandi Singhs’ and justice in the 2015 sacrilege cases, after the Republic Day function on Mohali roads.

Protesters on foot holding saffron, blue and black flags, cars and tractors moved near Phase XI.

A heavy police force escorted the protesters.

Police had made several diversions in the city. Traffic on Airport Road from IISER to the Sohana gurdwara was affected.

Activists said the 3,000-strong crowd is set to take out an 18km march as planned.

The Kaumi Insaaf Morcha has been pitching tents on the Mohali-Chandigarh border since January 7.

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).
