To ensure smooth and safe procurement of wheat during the lockdown and to prevent the spread of Covid-19, ex-servicemen have been assisting Mandi Board officials in the procurement process at grain markets.

DC Shivdular Singh Dhillon said at present, 288 Guardians of Governance (GoGs) have been overseeing the ongoing procurement process at 55 grain markets of the district. He said ex-servicemen have been given the responsibility to ensure that health safety measures are followed during the procurement process.

Apart from following social distancing at the procurement centers, they have been working together with employees of the Mandi Board to deal with the difficult task of traffic monitoring. In addition, the GoGs were asked to report about the status of cleanliness in mandis.

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).
