Chandigarh, February 14

A scuffle between Haryana Police and farmers took place at Khanauri border on Wednesday afternoon when farmers tried to cross barricades.

Police resorted to lathicharge and fired tear gas shells, causing injuries to some farmers.

Meanwhile, Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij said they were surprised that the Punjab government had issued a notice asking Haryana not to send drones in their territory.

He said it was a state border and not the international one. When the farmers started moving, no attempts were made by Punjab to stop them, he added.

At Hisar, a security assistant of Jind police was held up by the Punjab farmers when he went towards Punjab to gather reports at Data Singh Wala border in Jind district.

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).
