Ferozepur, January 6

Deputy Chief Minister

OP Soni, who was here to take part in the stone-laying ceremony of the PGI Satellite Centre, was also reportedly stuck at a roadblock on the Ferozepur-Zira road for 45 minutes yesterday.

He had to make a distress call to police officials, who dispatched additional police force, to bail him out.

Soni claimed his convoy could not move further due to a traffic snarl-up on the road owing to the farmers’ protest.

Later, an IG-level officer came to the spot and got the traffic cleared for the further movement of the Deputy CM’s convoy. — TNS

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).
