The farmers’ protest entered its 30th day in the district today. Farmers held meetings to mobilise the community to raise its demands.

The farmers continue to hold siege of the Kahwan Wala Pull toll plaza as part

of their ongoing protest against the state government. Members of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Comittee today burned the effigy of the state government.

Led by committee district secretary Gurmail Singh Rerwa and state secretary Sukhwinder Singh Sabhra, farmers held meetings at Heran, Mohriwal, Kuhar Kalan, Jafarwal, Miyewal, Araiyan and other villages in Shahkot. Rerwa, Sabhra and district president Salwinder Singh Jania said the government should take charge of private schools, private hopistals, roads and electrcity into its own hands.

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).
