Three farmers, including two women, have been booked for stubble burning here.

They were identified as Baljit Kaur of Hasta Kalan village; Sumitra Rani, a resident of Bhamba Wattu Hithar village; and Kulwant Singh of Prabhat Singh Wala Hithar village. They have been booked under Section 223 of the BNSS, which deals with disobedience to an order promulgated by a public servant. It attracts imprisonment up to six months or a fine of Rs 2,500.

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).
