Karnal, October 4

Demanding release of BKU president Gurnam Singh Charuni, who was detained in UP when he was heading to Lakhimpur Kheri, farmers started a dharna outside Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s residence in Prem Nagar here on Monday evening.

In the morning, farmers had blocked the NH-44 over slow procurement.

They announced to continue their dharna till the release of Charuni.

Gurdeep Singh Aulakh, state core committee member, BKU (Charuni), was leading the protest and announced they will not lift dharna till the release of Charuni.

He said farmers will protest across Haryana on Tuesday if Charuni was not released.

A large number of police personnel were deployed.

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).
