Muktsar, December 19

With protesting farmers spending night out in open at Delhi borders, some kind-hearted persons have started donating cow dung cakes for bonfire.

Ravjot Singh, a farmer from Muktsar, who last night distributed cow dung cakes in a tractor-trailer, said: “This is also a ‘sewa’. A number of farmers here need something to keep themselves warm, especially at night. While some people are distributing wood, I along with my friends distributed cow dung cakes, which can also be used in case there’s shortage of LPG.”

A number of people are donating quilts, blankets, jackets, sweaters, shoes, geysers, wollens, tarpaulin sheets and wood to help the protesters combat the cold. — 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).
