sangrur, December 25

Preparations are on across various villages in the district to mobilise residents for the December 26 and 27 march to the Delhi border in support of the protesting farmers.

“Dhol marches” and meetings were organised and announcements made through gurdwara public address system today as farmers readied their modified trailers and other vehicles.

“Our village has decided to cook ‘sarson da saag’ tonight in each house to take it to the Tikri border on Saturday. There are many houses where two members are already at the protest site, while two more members would leave on tomorrow,” said Harjinder Singh, BKU (Ugrahan) Bhawanigarh block president. Many women said they were going without ration as their relatives at Tikri had said there was enough stock. — 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).
