A delegation of the Amritsar Fruit and Vegetable Merchants Association handed over a memorandum of their demands to the minister here today. Charanjit Singh Batra, president of the association, said the decision was taken after Dhaliwal assured them of accepting their demands. The association has been demanding development of the Vallah Mandi along with arrangements for potable water supply and construction of toilets.

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).
