A Central Government emissary met farm leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on an indefinite fast for 65 days now, at Khanauri on Wednesday. Dallewal apprised him that he would continue his fast till demands raised by farm unions were met.

Farmers who were part of the meeting at Khanauri said a Central Government official met Dallewal and enquired about his health. He also wished the farmer leader a speedy recovery so that he could be part of the talks on February 14.

Dallewal told the visiting official that he had reluctantly accepted medical aid, but his fast would continue until the government addressed their demands.

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).
