Chandigarh, November 19

For a year, farmer Jaswinder Singh of Nandgarh village in Malout had been sitting in protest at the Tikri border. An activist of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Kadian), Jaswinder had reportedly told his family he would not return home till the laws were repealed.

Today, when the announcement came, he was elated at the farmers’ victory and was looking forward return home. His son went to meet him at the border, but Jaswinder died and his body was sent home.

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).
