Sriganganagar, March 24

Taking cognizance of the reports that the staff of a big mall had reopened it thinking that farmers’ stir on Delhi borders had become less effective, representatives of farmers organisations reached Ridhi Siddhi Colony to shut it.

Kisan Army spokesman Gurlal Singh Brar said ex-MLA Het Ram Beniwal, District Congress Committee ex-president Prithvipal Singh Sandhu and members Gurmeet Singh Mann, Sandeep Singh and Gurjant Singh asked the staff why they resumed work when three other malls were lying shut. The staff assured them that the mall would not be opened till farmers’ agitation continued.

Brar said none of the toll plazas was charging fee in Sriganganagar after the sit-ins by farmer organisations. “We will continue raising strength at the Shahjahanpur morcha and Delhi, he added.

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).
