Mansa, November 20

Citing that blockade of roads for indefinite period by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (non-political) is only causing inconvenience to people and not the government, the Samvidhan Bachao Manch (SBM), a social organisation, today urged the farm unions to reconsider their decision.

Balkaran Singh Balli of the SBM said, “There are a few farm unions, who under the banner of the SKM (non-political), have started an agitation for an indefinite period. This move lacks foresight. Blocking of roads is always the last resort. ”

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).
