A team of the Agriculture Department under the leadership of Dr Harpal Singh Pannu, Chief Agriculture Officer, inspected fertilisers, pesticides and seeds outlets in Khadoor Sahib block on Tuesday.

Harpal Singh said the teams checked shops and godowns of dealers and samples of agricultural inputs were taken.

Harpal Singh appealed to the farmers that while buying agricultural inputs, the farmers must get original bill and use fertilisers, seeds, pesticides as per the recommended dose of Punjab Agriculture University, Ludhiana.

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).
