Abohar, June 17

Members of various farm unions, including the BKU, Jamhuri Kisan Sabha, Dehati Mazdoor Sabha and Azad Kisan Morcha, today staged a protest near Dutaranwali village over government’s failure to release compensation for damage to crop.

They also disrupted traffic for a few hours on the Abohar-Seetogunno-Dabwali road. The farmers raised slogans against the state government saying the compensation was announced last year for villages that had been waterlogged due to overflowing drains during monsoon. — 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).
