Muktsar, March 6

A large number of farmers today protested outside the power grid in Peori village, saying they were not getting adequate power supply for tubewells. A farmer, Jasveer Singh, said they were getting power for just about four hours against promised supply for eight hours for tubewells.

PSPCL executive engineer Harish Gothwal said: “The SDO has been sent to the spot to meet the farmers and resolve the issue.”

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).
