Sangrur, April 1

Residents of Thaska village near Khanauri and activists of the BKU (Ugrahan) led by Rinkoo Moonak, general secretary of Moonak block of the BKU (Ugrahan), today staged a dharna outside the police station at Khanauri, about 60 kilometre from here.

They protested against the police for not taking action against the persons who had allegedly ‘put cow dung’ into a new tubewell’s bore of their village, leading to supply of contaminated water to the village. They also held officials of the Water Supply and Sanitation Department responsible for it.

Rinkoo said on March 28, villagers gave a complaint to the police. As no action was taken against the ‘erring’ persons, they were compelled to stage a dharna outside the police station.

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).
