Abohar, January 20

Farmers today gheraoed the office of AAP at New Grain Market in Abohar.

The protesters claimed that the administration had promised to arrange their meeting with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, but they were not allowed to meet him.

Farm leader Sukhwinder Singh Rajan said they wanted to put forth their demands regarding crop loss, but the CM left the venue after addressing the rally.

As farmers came to know about this, they gheraoed AAP’s office while three MLAs were present inside. As a result, the police personnel had to be deputed to escort the legislators safely.

The protesting farmers demanded compensation for the cotton and kinnow crop which got damaged due to poor canal water management for irrigating fields and inclement weather last year.

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).
