Muktsar, January 12

Another elderly farmer protesting against the Centre’s three agri laws reportedly died at Tikri border on Tuesday.

The farmer has been identified as Avtar Singh and was from Lohara village in Muktsar.

The cause of death is reported to be a cardiac arrest.

He had stay put from day one at the border to protest against the farm laws.

Another farmer from Abul Khurana village died at a hospital in Ludhiana on Sunday night after developing some health issues at Tikri border protest.

So far, over 50 farmers have died while protesting against the farm laws on the Delhi borders.

Many of them died either owing to the cold weather conditions or accidents.

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).
