In a show of growing resistance against the state government’s proposed land pooling policy, two major farmers’ unions — BKU (Lakhowal) and BKU (Kadian) — voiced strong opposition during their monthly meetings held this week, calling the policy a corporate-driven move that threatens agrarian livelihoods.

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).
