Hoshiarpur, September 13

PCC working president Sangat Singh Gilzian was today gheraoed by members of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee at Pandori Kadd village. Gilzian was on his way to attend the inauguration ceremony of a government college at Mukhliana village when the farmers blocked his vehicle and raised slogans.

The standoff continued for about an hour even as the police tried to disperse the protesters. Samiti representatives agreed to let him go after Gilzian agreed to talk to them. The committee members accused Gilzian of getting FIRs wrongly registered against them, a charge denied by the Congress leader. — OC

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).
