Panipat, June 10

Hundreds of farmers led by BKU leader Gurnam Singh Charuni left for the Singhu border from a toll plaza on the NH-44 here today. A long cavalcade of tractors-trolleys, cars, jeeps and motorcycles was seen traversing the highway.

Traffic was disrupted in the city because of the cavalcade of farmers’ vehicles. Farmers reached the protest site in the evening. Before leaving for Singhu, Charuni said, “The three farm laws introduced last year are not for farmers, but for the corporate sector.”

He also questioned the Centre for the increase in MSP of kharif crops.

Charuni appealed to young farmers to maintain discipline during the agitation.

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).
