Abohar, January 3

Farmers, labourers and traders left for New Delhi on Sunday with four truckloads of kinnow, two water tankers and one tractor laden with firewood to help the protesters.

Before leaving, one of the traders said, “The Central Government has become arrogant. Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not see the pain of families who have lost 50 members during the protest. Elderly women and children are braving the cold, but the Centre is hardly concerned. We will continue to support farmers till the time the justice is not given.”

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).
