Jammu, April 7

Apni Party leaders and workers today staged a protest, demanding removal of the Sarore toll plaza on the Jammu-Pathankot highway.

The protesters were led by party’s provincial president and former minister Manjit Singh. He said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had stated that no toll plaza would be installed within 60 km. “But this one violates rules. Sarore toll plaza is within 48 km from Ban toll plaza at Nagrota. The people are not ready to accept their exploitation,” he said. —

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).
