Muktsar, December 30

Sanyukt Kisan Morcha members have started night patrolling the Singhu border on motorcycles to ward off notorious elements. Initially, four motorcycles, which have been given a special look, have been pressed into service.

Earlier, teams of farmers patrolled the protest site on foot. Bharatiya Kisan Union (Kadian) spokesperson Ravneet Singh told The Tribune over phone: “Several youths have volunteered for night patrolling. To ensure these youths stand out in the crowd, the motorcycles have been painted green. Soon, they will be provided with a uniform. The initiative will be replicated at the Tikri border.” He further said, “Women, children and elderly persons are putting up in tents and tractor-trailers. So it becomes our duty to protect them.” — 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).
