Ambala, February 23

A farmer destroyed his wheat crop spread over half an acre in the district’s Manakpur village today in protest against the three farm laws.

He intended to destroy his entire seven-acre crop, but district BKU (Charuni) vice-president Gulab Singh intervened and prevented him from doing so.

The farmer, Gurpreet Singh, said: “BKU leader Rakesh Tikait had asked farmers to destroy their crops in protest against the laws. We raise crops like our children. I will not take the remaining crop to the grain market. I will donate it instead.”

The BKU leader who also belongs to Manakpur village, said: “If any farmer has decided against selling their crop, he could donate it to the poor.” — 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).
