Sangrur, November 22

Various farm organisations have started holding meetings at village level here to mobilise residents to march to Delhi for the agitation anniversary on November 26.

BKU Ugrahan general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan said they had started preparations at the Pakora Chowk of Tikri border to organise an event. “We are expecting a gathering of 1 lakh farmers from Punjab, Haryana and other states. It will be a historic day,” he said.

Announcements are being made at gurdwaras. Besides, farm unions have launched campaigns on the social media. Unlike before, many farmers are planning to go to Delhi with their family members, including kids. — TNS

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).
