Yamunanagar, May 23

Migrant labourers created a ruckus in a shelter home set up at the Government Senior Secondary School in Radaur today. They demanded that they be sent back to their hometowns.

They raised slogans against the governments of Haryana and Bihar. They threatened to proceed on fast if they were not sent back soon.

After getting information, Radaur DSP Kushal Pal Rana and SHO Rishi Kumar reached the spot. They tried to persuade the migrants, but they continued the protest.

Migrants Ramlakhan and Jai Ram said they were kept at a shelter home near Yamunanagar for 15 days and then shifted to Radaur a few days later.

“I visited the shelter home and pacified the protesters. I told them that arrangements were being made to send them home,” Rana said.

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).
