KULLU, JUNE 4

The Kullu Fourlane Sangharsh Samiti will observe a fast here from June 8 to June 20 and if their demands are not met, they will hold protests on roads.

This was stated by samiti president Dinesh Sen while addressing a press conference here today. He said even on June 24, 2021, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had said the fourlane affected should get their rights.

The president said the previous Congress government had to face the anguish of the fourlane affected people during the Assembly elections and the BJP too had to bear the brunt of it in the Mandi Parliamentary byelection.

Sen said, “Now, members of the sangharsh samiti have decided that first they will observe a 12-day fast and if the government does not reach any conclusion, then they will take to streets.”

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).
