Mansa, January 2

Braving biting cold, a group of women under the banner of Kul Hind Pragtisheel Istree Sabha today left for the Tikri border to take part in the farmers’ agitation. The group comprised 33 women and their children.

Group leader Balwinder Kaur said: “The group left for the Tikri border on Saturday afternoon to take part in the farmers’ protest. History is evident that whenever there was any threat to the lives and livelihood of people of the nation, its citizens irrespective of their caste, creed, religion or gender have stood against it. Divisive forces can do no harm now as this movement will be fought collectively.” — 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).
