Mohali, October 28

The protesting farmers here entered Chandigarh University at Gharuan today over the suspicion that Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar were visiting the institute to inaugurate the student satellite centre.

As the farmers gathered at the main gate of the university, the authorities allowed them to enter the premises. The protesters gheraoed the helipad inside the campus and also raised slogans against the BJP.

The protesters said they would not allow BJP leaders to enter Punjab unless the three farm laws were repealed.

Satnam Singh Sandhu, Chancellor of the University, said an event was scheduled, but they had cancelled the programme on Wednesday after holding talks with farmer leaders.

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).
