Bathinda, May 5

SAD and the BSP today jointly organised a protest to demand restoration of ration cards of beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act (NFSA) scheme.

On the occasion, the protesters observed a two-minute silence in memory of late Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal. They hailed him as champion of poor and downtrodden who, they claimed was progenitor of free foodgrain scheme.

The protesters were members of the Scheduled Castes. A bulk of them were women.

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).
