The police today rounded up three Bharatiya Kisan Union (Azad) leaders as a preventive measure after they tried to stage a protest in front of Cabinet Minister Aman Arora at Longowal village. Those apprehended were Jaswinder Singh Soma, Kulwinder Singh Soni and Happy Namol.

Arora was at the village to lay the foundation stones of three development works, including that of a 30-bed Community Health Centre (CHC). As per reports, the BKU (Azad) leaders had chalked out a programme to ask questions from Arora regarding the uprooting of kisan morchas and other issues of the farmers, but the police did not allow them to go ahead.

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).
