Around 100 farmers under the banner of Bharatiya Kisan Naujawan Union left for the Khanauri border to consolidate the ongoing agitation launched by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-political).

Farm leader Dashrath Malik said they demand legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) on all crops, implementation of the Swaminathan Commission recommendations, debt waiver and reinstatement of the Land Acquisition Act, 2013.

Balwan Lohan, another farm leader, sought justice for Lakhimpur Kheri violence victims, withdrawal of cases registered against the farmers during year-long farm stir in 2021 and India’s exit from the WTO.

Other farm activists demanded Rs 10,000 monthly pension for farmers and farm labourers and reforms in the PM Crop Insurance Scheme.

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).
