A large number of women from Udhowal village marched to the BDPO office at Mehatpur and demanded a meeting of the gram panchayat. The women wing of the Kirti Kisan Union, established by the Udhowal village women, demanded solutions for the losses caused to poor farmers and demanded development of the village.

After having a word with the village sarpanch, women served him a notice of their demands.

The village sarpanch relented and foxed a meeting for July 15. Voters in the village had also been airing the same demand for a long time and 70 per cent of them had given approval for the meeting.

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).
