Chandigarh, May 22

With the farmers demanding a designated protest site ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Patiala on Thursday, the police on Wednesday allocated them a dharna site near the Patiala DC office for a sit-in protest.

Hectic parleys were on as Kirti Kisan Union planned to block all roads to Patiala on Thursday morning.

BKU (Ekta-Ugrahan) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan said the police had informed him about the allocation of the protest site and that the union would not disrupt the rally and would only stage a dharna.

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).
