The residents of nearly 70 houses, a majority of them women, took to the roads in the Ludhiana East constituency on Thursday to protest the PSPCL's failure to provide power supply in the area for the past over 40 hours. The women raised slogans against the department and maintained that they were bearing the brunt, but the department had failed to provide uninterrupted power supply in the area.

The protesters alleged that after a complaint was filed with the department, officials came and temporarily plugged the wires. But, the said, the move restored power only temporarily, causing them much harassment. The residents also raise slogans against the MLA, alleging he had not extended support to them.

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).
