Chandigarh, January 5

Inder Mohan Singh, head of a gurdwara in Bhiwani, on Tuesday flagged off a vehicle carrying 101 quilts for farmers sitting on dharna at the Shahjahanpur border.

Villagers in Sirsa’s Maujukhera collected Rs 100 per acre of landholding from residents for participation in the farmers’ dharna at the Tikri border.

With Rs 4.5 lakh collected through crowd funding, villagers hired a minibus to take batches of between 30 and 40 farmers to the Tikri border, with each group staying for three or four days.

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).
