Memo to CM on violence against farmers
Members of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha today submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner to be forwarded to the Chief Minister regarding the incidences of violence against farmers. Members of the union said that recently some incidents of violence against farmers were reported from Bathinda, Sangrur and Jagraon.
“The police resorted to a lathi-charge on the farmers who were holding a protest to oppose the setting up of a biogas plant at Akhara village on Saturday. Villagers have been protesting for over a year, citing health concerns regarding the plant,” said Saudagar Singh of the BKU (Ekta Ugrahan).
Farmers strongly condemned such incidents and demanded from the government that such incidents should be checked from taking place in future.

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.
