Ropar, October 12

A mall and a fuel station owned by Reliance Group remained closed as the farmers continue to protest against the farm Acts here today. Similarly, farmers didn’t allow the Solakhian toll plaza to be operational on the Chandigarh road.

The protesting farmers have been sitting on dharna at railway tracks at Nangal Chowk since October 1. Those who addressed the protesting farmers today include Gurnam Singh Jassra, Gurmail Singh Warra, Pragat Singh Roloomajra, Charan Singh Mundian, Gurinder Singh Rurki and Satnam Singh Majri.

They said that their protest would continue till the Centre repealed the new farm Acts which were anti farmers. They said the new farm laws were meant to benefit big corporate at the cost of farmers’ interests.

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).
