Sangrur, October 21

Another farmer protesting near the CM’s residence here died on Friday due to suspected cardiac arrest.

The farmer has been identified as Karnail Singh (65), a resident of Akoi Sahib village.

Earlier on October 17, a farmer had died of snakebite.

Protesters have refused to cremate both bodies till the state government accepts their demands for the families of the deceased.

The protesters have been demanding financial aid, a government job and complete debt waiver for the families of the deceased.

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).
