Amritsar, October 31

As the sowing of wheat crop has already begun and farmers are relatively comfortable this year as they are not facing any shortage of DAP fertiliser. The fear of fertiliser shortage was widespread during the wheat sowing season last year.

As a result of the shortage, a bag of DAP with an MRP of Rs 1,200 was being sold for Rs 1,800 per bag last year. Officials of the Agriculture Department said that all arrangements for wheat sowing had been made and farmers would not face any problem this 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).
