Abohar, March 2

Members of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha on Thursday blocked Abohar-Sriganganagar highway near the Sadhuwali border link canal over drop in the water-level.

The protesters raised slogans and demanded 2500 cusecs of water in Gang Canal.

The dharna was lifted in the evening after Dhiraj Chawla, Superintendent Engineer, Water Resources Department, informed that 2000 cusecs of water was released and normal flow would be ensured in the coming days.

Meanwhile, 300 acres of wheat crop got submerged in water due to a 50-foot breach in Malukpura minor near Raipura village.

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).
