Amid the ongoing protest by farmers against Akshay Kumar starrer, “Sooryavanshi”, cinema halls in the district have suffered a loss of over Rs 10 lakh. One of the theatres today issued refunds of about 150 tickets.

Members of various farm outfits and NGOs supporting farmers’ movement today reached MBD Mall to stop the screening of the film. They claimed they would not allow the actor’s movies to be screened as he had in past made statements against the farmers’ agitation.

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).
