The Delhi Government on Wednesday said it was committed to standing with farmers and residents impacted by floods in the Yamuna belt.

Acting on the instructions of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Development Minister Kapil Mishra and Social Welfare Minister Ravindra Indraj Singh carried out a joint inspection of the flood-affected areas, marking the first time two Cabinet Ministers visiting such locations together.

The inspection, conducted from Palla Chowk to Hiranki, aimed to assess the losses suffered by farmers and ensure timely compensation. The ministers, accompanied by senior officials from the Agriculture and Flood Control Departments as well as the local district administration, met farmers directly, listened to their grievances and reviewed the administrative response on the ground.

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).
