Jalandhar, April 9

Youngsters in hundreds under the banner of the Kirti Kisan Union set off for New Delhi to participate in farmers’ stir on Friday.

Youth wing will protest on KMP Road on April 10. Young farmers and labour activists were mobilised from various villages. Protesters said the Kirti Kisan Union held campaigns in villages for mobilisation of youths.

Farmer leaders said jungles, fertile land and water was being handed at throwaway prices to corporates. They said the Delhi-based andolan can put a stop to such policies. They said hardworking residents were trying their best to participate in the protest. They said agriculture laws passed by the Centre should be withdrawn immediately.

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).
