Jalandhar, September 20

Members of the Bhartiya Kisan Union Doaba, Doaba Kisan Union Nawanshahr and Doaba Kisan Sangharsh Committee have sought the government intervention for a quick payment of Rs 42 crore dues from the Phagwara sugar mill, failing which they would start a protest in Phagwara on September 27.

Led by BKU-Doaba president Manjit S Rai said, “The government has so far not got lifted the sand. Farmers need time to prepare the soil for the next crop which can be done after removing the sand,” 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).
