Muktsar, December 22

Protesting against the corporates over the contentious farm laws, a number of farmers today snapped the power supply to a cell phone tower of a private company in Raniwala village here. The farmers also locked the entrance of the tower premises, sources said. Some village residents said they won’t allow the tower to become functional until the farm laws were repealed.

Meanwhile, the authorities of a retail store temporarily closed it as some farmers had lodged a protest in front of it a few days ago.

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).
