In the wake of heightened tensions, the Border Security Force (BSF) has shut the gates that allow the movement of farmers across the barbed fencing along the International Border in Fazilka sector.

Jhangar Bhaini border village sarpanch Harmesh Warval said the BSF shut the gate on Sunday citing security reasons.

Kulwant Singh of Teja Rohela border village said although the farmers were at the receiving end due to the uncertainty prevailing along the border, they would stand by the security forces. Raman Singh of Mansa village also said the people had been advised not to go near the fencing. The BSF DIG could not be contacted for comment.

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).
