Chandigarh: The office of the Additional Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Ludhiana, recently held an interactive session on export-related issues in association with the Federation of Indian Export Organisation. Suvidh Shah, Joint DGFT, said, “In today’s scenario, it is important the trade should start making efforts for import substitution so that we can replace products imported from other countries, especially from China, with Indian products.” “Punjab, especially Ludhiana, is a traditional hub of machinery production and it can compete with Chinese machinery,” he added. — 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).
