Muktsar, December 19

Eight days after two farmers of Assa Buttar village died in a road accident in Hisar district while heading back home from the farmers’ protest (Tikri border), another critically injured farmer from the same village died on Saturday night. He was undergoing treatment at a private multispecialty hospital in Mohali.

The deceased has been identified as Raghbir Singh (55), who had suffered spinal injury in the mishap. He was an activist of the Bharti Kisan Union (Kadian). Earlier, two farmers Sukhdev Singh (40) and Ajaypreet Singh (32) had died. A total of nine farmers were coming to the village in two trailers attached to a tractor. A canter hit a trailer from rear around 5 am on December 11. — TNS

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).
