Sangrur, September 5

Farmers today laid siege to officials of a Lehra bank and did not allow them to take possession of the house of a farmer, who had failed to repay his loan.

Union members said Lehra resident Rajnish, a farmer, had taken a loan from the bank to start his business in 2020. However, due to the pandemic, his business failed and the bank authorities started the recovery process.

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).
