Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has convened a meeting of his council of ministers at his house on Thursday night.

Sources in the Punjab government told The Tribune that the meeting had been convened to discuss the budget proposals for 2025-26, since the state Budget Session begins on Friday.

The political effect of the crackdown on the protesting farmers by the state government is also expected to be discussed in the meeting.

The meeting has been scheduled for 7.30 pm so that the entire day’s activities of the farmers can be discussed. The state government is keeping a close eye on all developments related to the issue.

Reports coming in so far suggest that though the representatives of the two forums tried to garner public support by making announcements from gurdwaras in villages, asking farmers to come out and protest, it has not yielded much response.

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).
