Ludhiana, March 24

Leaders of farmers’ organisations, activists of labour and trade unions, and legal luminaries will hold a ‘kirti kisan mahapanchayat’ at the grain market near Jalandhar Bypass on March 28.

In the mahapanchayat, the leaders will dwell on farm-related laws and anti-labour laws.

Sharing the news of the mahapanchayat, former bureaucrat SR Ladhar and IRS (Retd) Jagtar Singh said the gathering would also strive to strengthen the bonds of social and sectional brotherhood.

Ladhar said legal luminaries, including Supreme Court advocate Bhanu Pratap Singh would apprise farmers of the adverse effects of farm laws and anti-labour laws. People from all sections of society are expected to attend the mahapanchayat, he added.

Farmer leaders namely Balbir Singh Rajewal, Harmeet Singh Kadian and Lachman Singh Sewawal will also address the gathering.

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).
