Muktsar, January 16

A 30-year-old reporter of KTV, a Punjabi channel from the UK, on Friday night got a notice from the National Investigating Agency (NIA), asking him to appear on January 18 regarding a case registered against him on December 15.

Jasveer Singh, resident of Muktsar town, is actively covering the farmers’ stir at Delhi border.

Jasveer said: “I got a phone call last night from an NIA official, who then sent me the copy of notice through WhatsApp. I have had a word with an advocate, who told me that there is nothing to worry. I will appear before the NIA officials on the said date. I will also join the tractor march on January 26.”

Jasveer added that he had joined KTV in May 2019.

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).
