Members of the Students Front, Panjab University, burnt an effigy of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to protest against the arrest of farm leaders.

“The present government must remember the promises it had made to the people of Punjab and must address the issues of peasants, labour and students. If it keeps resorting to such measures, it will have to bear consequences like the BJP had in the past,” said Raman, a member of the front. Students leaders from various organisations, including Manoj Lubana from Youth Congress, Sunny Mehta of Congress and Gagandeep of Panjabnama, addressed the gathering.

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).
