Patiala, September 22

Farmer leader Joginder Singh Ugrahan on Tuesday announced to conclude protest at Patiala and Badal village. The BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) president said, “We are ending our protest and lifting road blockades. But we will block rail and road traffic movement to Delhi and stop trains for three days from September 24 to 26 to make Punjab bandh successful on September 25.”

“We will start village-wise vigil from tomorrow and three days will see total blockage or roads and trains to Delhi,” he said, adding that no farmer will sit quiet against the injustice meted to them.

The farmers had started day-and-night protest against the agriculture ordinances on September 15.

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).
