Ludhiana, September 24

Passengers are on the receiving end with the rail traffic going off the tracks in the region for at least four days due to the ongoing ‘rail roko’ and “chakka jam” agitation by farmers.

The Railways have announced cancellation of two pairs of trains from today to Saturday, while 10 other pairs of trains would short-terminate and short-originate during this period.

Railway officials said the Haridwar-Amritsar-Haridwar Janshatabdi Express would remain cancelled on September 25 and 26, while the New Delhi-Jammu Tawi-New Delhi Rajdhani Express would not run from today to Saturday.

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).
