Fatehgarh Sahib, December 7

Volunteers of the Gurdarshan Singh Nabha Foundation, an NGO, carried 3,000 blankets, 3,000 cases of drinking water and a huge quantity of medicines for farmers of Punjab, Haryana and other states protesting at the Delhi border. A big contingent of volunteers left for Delhi today.

NGO head Sikandar Singh said farmers were fighting for a national cause, as the farm laws would affect every section of society.

It was their moral duty to provie all sort of help to the farmers.

He said his father was already supporting the cause, but he, along with volunteers of the NGO, decided to march to Delhi to distribute blankets and medicines. They would also join the farmers’ dharna, he said.

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).
