Evading a direct reply on farmers’ deaths during protests, the MHA today claimed the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) did not report cases of “hurt to farmers due to attack on farmers’ protests” separately.

Responding to a question by Congress’ KC Venugopal, seeking to know (state-wise) the number of farmers who were injured and who had died during the protests, the MoS for Home said the NCRB had reported 5,78,641 cases of hurt, “but did not report cases of hurt to farmers due to attack on farmers’ protests separately.” — TNS

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).
