Sangrur, February 6

Hundreds of farmers began a five-day “pucca morcha” under the banner of BKU (Ugrahan) outside the district administrative complex (DC office) here today.

Their demands include a pro-farmer new agriculture policy by the state government, complete waiver of farmers’ loans, Rs 10 lakh compensation to the families of farmers who ended life by suicide and jobs to family members of the farmers who lost their lives during the Delhi Kisan Andolan.

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).
