Farmers agreed to lift blockade from five spots during a three-hour meeting of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) with Food and Civil Supplies Minister Lal Singh Kataruchak and Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khuddian.

Sarwan Singh Pandher, coordinator, Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, Manjit Singh Rai of the BKU (Doaba) and Surjit Singh Phul, head, BKU (Krantikari) represented farmers during a meeting with ADGP (Law and Order) SPS Parmar and DIG Satinder Singh. Farm leaders said cuts implied on farmers would be reimbursed by the state government.

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).
