Karnal, October 12

A supervisor of the Agriculture Department and his supervisor were allegedly assaulted by four farmers for stopping the latter from burning paddy stubble in Gharaunda’s Kaimla village on Saturday.

The farmers were booked under Sections 186, 307, 324, 332, 353, 379-B, 435, 427 and 506 of the IPC. One of them, identified as Balraj, had been arrested. He was produced in court and sent to judicial custody, the police said. Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav said no one was allowed to take the law into one’s own hands.

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).
