Sonepat, June 13

Enraged over the negligent attitude of officials towards resolving the problems of residents of Mukimpur village, Rajesh Kumar climbed a mobile tower with a Tricolour in his hands and raised slogans against the district administration.

Villagers gathered to support him. Meanwhile, the police and district administrative officials reached the spot and tried to pacify the protesters.

The protesters said the entry road to the village was waterlogged for a long time as the pond adjoining it was overflowing and several accidents had taken place due to it.

Rajesh climbed down from the tower after assurance from officials after five hours. Bahalgarh police have registered a case against him under Section 309 of the IPC.

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).
