Hoshiarpur: To protest against anti-farmer ordinances introduced by the Centre, the grain market of Hoshiarpur will stay closed on August 21. “There will be no business in the grain market on August 21,” said Sudhir Sood, president, Hoshiarpur Arhtiya Association. Sood said the Centre’s decision would lead to a few big companies taking control over farmers. He said the Punjab Government has yet not paid commission to arhtiyas and wages to labourers for lifting paddy in 2019. This year, commission of wheat procured by the Food Corporation of India would not be paid to arhtiyas, he said and added that they would submit a memorandum to an official concerned in this regard. Ramesh Kumar Gupta, Rajesh Gupta and Vipan Gupta, among others were also present. OC

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).
