Patiala, August 26

The farmers protesting against the setting up of compressed biogas (CBG) plants across the state have issued an ultimatum to the government to scrap the proposal by September 5. The ultimatum was issued after talks between the state government and the farm unions failed on Tuesday. The miffed farmers have threatened to block the NH-44 if the government fails to act.

The matter gained prominence after the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) sitting at the Shambhu border extended their support to the coordination committee members opposing the setting up of the CBG plants.

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).
