Patiala, April 18

Train services remained disrupted on Thursday as farmers continued their ‘rail roko’ protest on the second consecutive day at the railway station near Shambhu.

Farmers under the banner of the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (non-political) blocked the Delhi-Ambala-Amritsar railway track near Shambhu.

They are demanding the release of three fellow protesters — Navdeep Singh, Anish Khatkar and Gurkirat Singh — who were arrested in March by Haryana cops.

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).
