Sonepat, February 18

Farmers sat on railway tracks in Sonepat and Panipat districts on Thursday as part of their four-hour ‘rail roko’. There was heavy police deployment at Panipat and Sonepat railway stations.

No untoward incident was reported. The Mumbai-Amritsar Paschim Express was halted at the Panipat station for around four hours. Commuters had to face problems during the forced halt.

In Panipat, BKU members sat on railway track near the TDI flyover and raised slogans against the Centre. In Sonepat, the protest was led by Ishwar Singh Rathi.

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).
