Patiala, April 11

Activists for the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) staged a protest outside a silo in Nabha today.

Addressing the gathering, district president Jaswinder Singh said the governments, both in the state and at the Centre, were encouraging the corporatisation of agriculture. Now, foreign-based companies were planning to open their silos in the state, he added.

He said all approvals for establishing new storage facilities for corporate traders within the state should be revoked and the government should take control of the existing storage facilities.

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).
