Hisar, August 26

Farmers showed black flags to Hisar BJP MLA Kamal Gupta and forced him to return at the Ramayan toll plaza in Hisar on the Hisar-Delhi road today.

The farmers raised anti-government slogans when they spotted the vehicle of the MLA near the toll plaza.

The MLA later informed mediapersons that he was going to Hansi to attend a meeting when a group of farmers stopped him and waved black flags. He said that nobody misbehaved with him and told him that they would not let him cross the toll plaza.

“So, I decided to take an alternative route and reached my destination. I have not lodged any complaint as no untoward incident occurred at the spot,” he said. — TNS

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).
