Abohar, May 26

Hundreds of villagers continued their protest outside Government High School at Muhar Sona village. Besides Muhar Sona, residents of Muhar Khiva Mansa, Muhar Khiva Bhawani and Muhar Jamsher villages also participated in the sit-in.

Jagdish Singh Mansa, a member of the core panel of Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, said the gram panchayats had been demanding implementation of the decision of the previous Congress government to upgrade the high school to the senior secondary level.

He said in the presence of administrative officials, then MLA Davinder Singh Ghubaya had inaugurated the “upgraded” senior secondary school and laid its foundation stone. At that time, about 70 children were admitted to the senior secondary classes. However, the AAP government has refused admission to the senior secondary classes.

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).
