Bathinda, January 15

Farm workers, who have returned from the Delhi Morcha, announced the launch of a vigorous awareness campaign to widen their struggle against the agriculture laws.

Punjab Kher Mazdoor Union’s president Zora Singh Nasrali said joining the Delhi Morcha had made the farm workers realise that the new laws would deprive them of their livelihood and make their lives even more miserable. He said by looking at the plight of the peasants who were stuck in the frontlines and enduring harsh conditions, their affinity towards the peasantry and hatred towards the belligerent Modi government had intensified.

Union general secretary Lachhman Singh Sevewala said the commitment shown by the farmers’ organisations towards the workers during their participation in Delhi stir had left a positive impact on farm workers. — 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).
