Ludhiana, August 27

A meeting of Samyukt Kisan Morcha was held today in Ludhiana. It was decided in the meeting to hold a dharna at Chandigarh on September 2 to put forward their demands, the memorandum of which has already been submitted to the state government.

The statement by Kangana Ranaut on farmers was also criticised by the members and they demanded that PM Narendra Modi should seek an apology for the same.

The members also criticised the incident where three farmer leaders were stopped at the airport and their tickets were cancelled.

Members also condemned the Punjab Pollution Control Board for issuing notices to farmers for burning stubble and demanded that such practice should be stopped.

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).
