Sirsa, May 13

A group allegedly attacked the convoy of BJP candidate Ashok Tanwar during a recent campaign in the Sirsa parliamentary constituency. They allegedly showed him black flags, obstructed the road, and attacked the vehicles with sticks.

Based on the complaint of Sub-Inspector Rajbir Singh, a case was registered against more than 30 people, including 16 identified individuals, under criminal charges at the Rania police station.

As protesters prevented the BJP candidate from entering the village and raised slogans, the police diverted the conVoy to another route, the SI said. Later, when the BJP candidate was returning after campaigning in the Santnagar village, demonstrators attempted to stop the convoy and attacked vehicles with sticks.

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).
