Dhiranwas was going to Chikanwas village in his vehicle that carried a flag of the farmers’ union. When the toll authorities asked him to pay, the farmer leader refused, saying he was going somewhere for a farmers’ cause. In sometime, the situation turned violent and some persons allegedly assaulted him with sticks.

A video of the farmer lying on the road went viral on social media. Soon, other farmers rushed to the site and Dhiranwas was rushed to Medical College, Agroha. They demanded registration of a criminal case. Meanwhile, a Landhri toll plaza official claimed that two persons of the toll plaza, too, had suffered injuries during the clash with Sandeep.

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).
