Phagwara, August 20

A meeting of farmers was held under the aegis of Bharatiya Kisan Union at Bara Pind near Goraya on Monday.

Harnam Singh Dhesi presided over the meeting which was addressed by Bhartiya Kisan Union (Doaba) general secretary Satnam Singh Sahni and state vice-president Kirpal Singh Mussapur who strongly condemned the Phagwara Sugar Mill administration for not paying their dues of Rs 41 crore.

Sahni stated that the BKU will begin an indefinite dharna before the office of DC, Kapurthala, from August 22 over non-payment of their dues.

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).
