Nawanshahr, November 30

A joint meeting was held between the Doaba Kisan Union, Punjab, and sugar mill employees here.

During the meeting, president of the Doaba Kisan Union Kuldeep Singh Bajidpur said it was promised that a discussion on the increase in the rate of sugarcane above Rs 400 would be held during the Session. Apart from this, it was also promised to run cooperative mills till November 28.

“However, the government reneged on its promise. It neither increased the rate of sugarcane nor run the mills. No notification has been issued till date,” he said.

A meeting of all organisations would be held in Jalandhar on this issue. “The decision that would be taken in the meeting will be conveyed to farmers and mill employees,” the president 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).
