Phagwara, April 4

Sugar cane growers of Phagwara and its surroundings areas will intensify their struggle if the management of sugar mill fails to give arrears to the cane growers. A meeting in this regard was organised by Bhartiya Kisan Union (Doaba) at Gurdwara Sukhchain Sahib on Thursday. Union president Manjit Singh Rai presided over the meeting.

Talking to media after the meeting, BKU (Doaba) general secretary Satnam Singh Sahni said the BKU will wait for the payment of arrears till mid April and if the payment is not released, the BKU will chalk out its next strategy to intensify its stir in the next meeting scheduled to be held on April 15 at Phagwara.

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).
