Mohali, January 7

Resentment prevailed among the farming community over alleged dismantling of tents for the farmer support camp at the Phase VII market here by the police.

Addressing the media here today, leaders of Punjab Kisan Union, Kanwaljit Singh and Amandeep Singh, said the camp tents had been dismantled by the police.

They said when they took the matter with the SSP, the latter said no such order had been issued after which the tents were installed again. They demanded that the government should clarify at whose behest the police were working to stop the campaign for the farmers.

They said some courageous youngsters of the district had been organising farmer support camps at the Phase VII market in the city to make people aware of the “black laws”. — TNS

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).
