Chandigarh, December 24

A group of local veterans, under the banner of the Mohali-based Ex-Servicemen Grievances Cell, joined the Kisan Morcha at the Singhu border today for extending support to the farmers protesting against the new farm laws recently introduced by the Centre.

The cell’s president, Ly Col SS Sohi (retd), said though farmers and rural populace comprise about 80 per cent of India’s population, most MPs and MLAs did not oppose the bills.

He said the morale of the protesters was high and the camps were well-organised and operating systematically.

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).
