The Bharti Kisan Union-Rajewal (BKU-R) staged a dharna in front of the office of Dr Ravjot, Cabinet Minister, on Saturday.

Addressing protesters, Baba Talwinder Singh, senior vice-president, and Dhadi Ranjit Singh, vice-president, BKU (R) said this dharna was against the negligence being shown by the government towards the purchase of paddy.

They also raised slogans against the government. Later, a memorandum was also handed over to the minister.

Meanwhile, Doaba Kisan Committee, Punjab, under the leadership of secretary Satpal Singh Mirzapur, and Bullowal circle president Balwinder Singh Bains gave a ‘warning letter’ to the minister over non-purchase of paddy and demands of arhtiyas and sheller owners.

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).
