Ambala: Hundreds of farmers blocked roads and national highways at nine locations in Ambala and Kurukshetra districts. Farmers in Ambala blocked the Delhi-Amritsar National Highway at the Shambhu toll plaza, and the Ambala-Hisar NH. In Kurukshetra, farmers blocked roads at seven locations, including the Delhi-Chandigarh highway in Shahabad, near Umri, Pehowa road, Ismailabad road, and Ladwa-Yamunanagar road. At some places, farmers and commuters were seen arguing due to the blockade.

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).
