An indefinite protest has begun outside the District Administrative Complex (DAC) here over the death of Sukhdev Singh of Wangal village. He was the grandson of freedom fighter Sucha Singh.

Sukhdev and his son were allegedly attacked by some residents of Lubanianwali village while harvesting paddy crop. His body has been lying at the local Civil Hospital for the past nine days as the family has been demanding the arrest of accused.

Some politicians, including former Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa and former MP Paramjit Kaur Gulshan, joined the protesters on Monday and condemned the incident. They also accused the police of misbehaving with them.

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).
