Bathinda, May 3

Heavy rains coupled with strong winds lashed parts of the city today. Resultantly, with the increasing moisture content in grains, wheat procurement has also got affected.

Shingara Singh Mann, district chief, BKU (Ekta Urghan), said, “This procurement season, farmers had to face a lot of difficulty, as earlier they had to deal with tardy lifting due to shortage of labour and now, inclement weather is adding to their woes.”

The state government should give some relaxation in moisture content, Mann said.

Besides this, many low-lying areas in the city have been waterlogged. — TNS

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).
