Mansa, June 20

Mansa MLA Nazar Singh Manshahia faced opposition from activists of various farm unions when he reached Khiali Kalan village in the district on Sunday.

As the MLA reached the village, the farmers started raising slogans against him due to which Manshahia returned from the village.

The protest was organised on the call of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha by members of the BKU (Dakaunda) and other unions on the pretext of their decision of not allowing politicians enter villages.

Manshahia said he was invited by the panchayat but some people objected to his visit and instead of getting into an argument, he went back.

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).
