Abohar, January 22

In protest against the controversial agricultural laws passed by the central government, arhtiyas in Punjab will halt business from January 25 to 27.

Arhtiya Association president Anil Nagori said a meeting of the 31-member executive committee of the Federation of Arhtiya Association, Punjab, was held through videoconferencing under the chairmanship of state president Vijay Kalra of Makhu.

It has been unanimously decided that arhtiyas should suspend business for three days beginning January 25 in support of the farmers’ tractor rally.

He said no purchase of any crop would be made during this period. He also appealed to all the arhtiyas to reach Delhi in maximum numbers to express solidarity with the tractor rally.

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).
