Rohtak, September 18

Activists of the Akhil Bhartiya Kisan Sabha (AIKS) and Haryana State Anajmandi Arhtiyas’ Association (HSAAA) burnt the copies of the three Bills passed by the Lok Sabha last night.

Earlier, the representatives of both organisations assembled in the grain market to express anguish over the Bills.

AIKS acting state secretary Sumit and HSAAA vice-president Harsh Girdhar said Agriculture Produce Market Committee Act (APMCA) was the lifeline of farmers of Punjab, Haryana and other states and this would not be allowed to be abandoned at any cost. AIKS district president Preet Singh also decried the BJP government, stating that the Bills were anti-farmer and would push them on the path of devastation.

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).
