Mohali, May 19

Minister for Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Dairy Development Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal today discussed the problems being faced by dairy and fish farmers.

During a meeting at the livestock complex here today, the Cabinet Minister said the government was committed to diversifying agriculture. A massive campaign would be launched to promote the allied occupations of agriculture, dairy farming and fisheries, he added.

The minister said the government would extend maximum help to those who were willing to adopt these practices.

Dhaliwal said to reduce the cost of electricity for fish and shrimp farming, a proposal should be submitted for providing subsidised solar pumps.

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).
