Members of the Dalit community held a meeting at the Ghati Valmiki Maharaj Mandir in Ludhiana on Wednesday to seek justice for Kartik Baggan, who was killed a few days ago at Sundar Nagar Chowk. It has been four days since the incident. Senior police officials are yet to publicly disclose whether any arrests were made in the case. There is a lot of anger among the family members of the victim and the Dalit community in general. The family did not even get a post-mortem examination carried out. They said they would only cremate the body once the suspects were arrested. They alleged that despite having registered a complaint against Shubham Mota, Gagan Gill and Tony Chauhan, the suspects were still at large.

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).
