The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has decided to recall all its dharnas from Punjab, following a meeting held in Ludhiana. The decision marks a shift in the SKM’s strategy, as it plans to organise fresh protests against the AAP government.

According to Baldev Singh Nihalgarh, SKM will hold dharnas at the residences of all AAP MLAs on March 10, as a show of resentment against the government. This move is seen as an escalation of SKM’s agitation, as it targets the ruling party’s elected representatives.

The decision comes after Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann walked out of a meeting with SKM leaders, which was called to resolve issues with farmers’ unions and cancel a scheduled protest on March 5.

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).
