Chandigarh, May 14

Dairy farmers led by the Progressive Dairy Farmers’ Association today announced an agitation from May 21 over government’s failure to address their issues, including financial assistance of Rs 7 per kg.

Daljit Singh Sadarpura, president, Progressive Dairy Farmers Association (PDFA), said the farmers had been forced to resort to protest as despite regular meetings with the government on several issues, these had remained unresolved. Besides financial assistance, the farmers are demanding an increase in milk prices.

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).
