Mansa, December 3

To observe the first anniversary of farmers’ stir against the three contentious agricultural laws and pay tributes to the farmers who died during the year-long agitation, a group of farmers will leave for the Singhu border on December 10. The decision was taken during a meeting of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (non-political) held in Mansa on Saturday.

Lakhbir Singh Aklia, chief, Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta-Sidhupur), said, “The Centre has failed to fulfil our demands. A group of 1,000 farmers will leave for the Singhu border to pay tributes to farmers, who attained ‘martyrdom’ during the farm stir.”

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).
