Farmers under the banner of the Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta-Ugrahan) today staged a protest outside the district administrative complexes in Bathinda and Mansa, demanding the resumption of paddy procurement in the grain markets.

The farmers said the crop was lying in the grain markets, but the state government had stopped the procurement process. At some places, the crop had not even been harvested, they said.

Later, the administration of both districts assured the protesters that the remaining crop would be procured.

Jagsir Singh Jawaharke, president, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan), Mansa block, said, “The District Food and Civil Supplies Controllers, along with some other officers, came to our protest site and assured us that the remaining crop would be procured. Thereafter, we ended the protest.”

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).
