Patiala, March 6

Haryana authorities have again fortified the border with Punjab at Shambhu near Ambala after farmers resumed their protest march towards Delhi on Wednesday. The authorities fear farmers could use this route to enter Haryana to reach the National Capital.

Elaborate security arrangements have been made at the border to stop the ‘Dilli Chalo’ march as hundreds of farmers continue to camp at the Shambhu border.

According to sources, farmers started gathering at the border near Ambala since Tuesday evening after Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leaders urged farmers from Punjab and other states to reach the Shambhu border and the National Capital, respectively, to press for their demands.

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).
