Officials of the district agriculture department stated that so far this year, the DSR technique has been used on 2,398 acres as compared to last year when it was used on 1,760 acres.

The officials stated that gradually farmers would start preferring the DSR over the traditional transplanting method.

Deputy Commissioner Sandeep Kumar while conducting a review meeting of the agriculture schemes stated that the DSR has been used on 638 more acres as compared to last year.

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).
