Kurukshetra, January 8

As many as 140 farmers belonging to Haryana reportedly lost their lives during the course of the movement against the three farm laws. As per the information available, a list of deceased farmers has been finalised and submitted to the government for compensation by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM).

Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni) spokesman Rakesh Bains said, “The SKM has submitted the final list of 140 farmers who sacrificed their lives during the farm agitation against the three laws to the government. The list was submitted on January 4. Besides, a list of nine other farmers, including those who had suffered serious injuries in road accidents, has also been submitted.” — 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).
