Chandigarh, August 30

Condemning the lathicharge on farmers, Kirti Kisan Forum members, led by former senior IAS officers Swaran Singh Boparai and RI Singh, on Monday passed a resolution.

They also observed a two-minute silence to pay tribute to a protester who had died. They demanded disciplinary action against the SDM and police officer concerned for discharging their duties in an undemocratic, cruel and irresponsible way. A resolution was also passed requesting the Haryana Government to treat those injured in the lathicharge for free. — 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).
