New Delhi, November 19

Locals and traders living around Singhu border heaved a sigh of relief on Friday, hoping for revival of their businesses and getting their lives back on track.

They have been affected due to road blockades by farmers staging the agitation for over a year.

Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana and UP have been protesting at the Delhi borders since November 26 last year demanding repeal of the three farm laws.

Sandeep, who runs a shop at Singhu, said the business had gone down to 10 per cent. “This is a very busy route. We are hoping for a revival now,” he said. — 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).
