Chandigarh, February 27

Calling the BBMB issue a direct attack on the rights of Punjab over its riverwaters, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has called for a “long-haul agitation”, beginning with statewide protests on March 7.

In a press release, SKM leaders said it was a shame that an attack on the state’s rights had been made by the Centre just as the elections to the Assembly ended. —

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).
