Farmer leaders on Tuesday announced that a jatha of 111 farmers would start their fast unto death from 2 pm on Wednesday.

The jatha will walk to the first police barricade at Dhabhi Gujran on the Khanauri border and start the hunger strike.

Giving details, farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar said the protesting farmers had decided to hold the fast unto death to express solidarity with farmer leader Jagjit Dallewal.

He said farmers from all age groups would participate in the fast unto death.

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).
