Led by Manjit Singh Gharachon, senior vice-president of BKU (Ugrahan), Bhawanigarh block, farmers ‘held up’ the Sangrur ADC, Bhawanigarh SDM, SP (Special Branch) and Bhawanigarh DSP for about two hours.

Gharachon said as the officials tried to extinguish the fires in the fields, a public announcement was made against their action. People gathered and ‘gheraoed’ the civil and police officers from 3 pm to 5 pm. He claimed that the officers were allowed to go following an assurance that no such action would be taken against any farmer in future.

SP Palwinder Singh Cheema refuted the farmers’ gherao claim. He said they had just assured them that no action would be taken against farmers obeying the rules.

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).
