New Delhi, June 1

Police have arrested three farmers from central Delhi for allegedly violating lockdown norms, officials said on Tuesday.

The three men, residents of Punjab, were arrested on Monday as they did not have movement passes, a senior police officer said.

The farmers said they came to the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara at Connaught Place to pay obeisance and stayed there for two days, he added.

They claimed that they were going to the Singhu border and did not have any intention to stage a protest in central Delhi, the officer said. — PTI

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).
