Tarn Taran, June 14

Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department, Punjab, with the assistance of the ATMA organised a district level camp at Bhattal Farm, Naushehra Pannuan, on Friday. DC Sandeep Kumar inaugurated the camp, aiming to provide technical knowledge to the farmers regarding kharif crops. He stressed to adopt direct sowing rice (DSR) to save underground water.

The DC stressed to protect natural sources like earth, water and air, etc and cautioned that if these were overlooked, everyone will have to pay a heavy price for this lapse. He said the state government was giving Rs 1,500 per acre to the farmers who adopt the DSR scheme. Chief Agriculture Officer Harpal Singh Cheema stressed for crop diversification with maize, basmati, vegetable crops replacing paddy.

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).
