A 65-year-old farmer, Jaswinder Singh of Nadampur village in Bhawanigarh, allegedly died by suicide by consuming some poisonous substance on Tuesday.

Jaswinder, who owned two acres of land, was under debt and was suffering from depression.

Jodha Singh of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) sought financial assistance for the bereaved family and a government job for the son of Jaswinder.

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).
