Sangrur, August 25

The mortal remains of farmer Pritam Singh, who died in police-farmers clash at Longowal on August 21, were cremated at Mander Kalan village today. “The cremation of farmer Pritam Singh was done at his village Mander Kalan. Members of various organisations attended the cremation. We had ended our protest last night as the state government has fulfilled our demands,” said Rajpal Singh, a member of BKU Azad.

The early morning raids at the house of farmer leaders in Longowal and subsequent attempts of farmers to block Badbar toll plaza on Sangrur-Barnala road led to a clash between the police and farmers led by BKU Azad in Longowal town of Sangrur on August 21, killing one farmer and injuring seven policemen.

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).
