Sultanpur Lodhi, March 16

Sultanpur Lodhi MLA Navtej Singh Cheema has handed over a cheque of Rs 5 lakh to the wife of farmer Baldev Singh, who died at Singhu border on March 9.

Attending the antim ardas of the deceased farmer Baldev Singh today, MLA Cheema and SDM Sultanpur Lodhi Dr Charumita handed over the cheque to his wife Narinder Kaur.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Cheema said the treatment given to farmers by the Union Government was entirely against the humanity and the welfare state concept. He said the Constitution had a provision for the protection of rights but it was unfortunate that the Union Government had left it unnoticed. Baldev Singh, a resident of Dadwindi village, died at Singhu border on March 9.

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).
