Rohtak, September 10

Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Hooda today said the Centre’s decision to impose 20 per cent duty on the export of non-basmati rice and ban on the export of broken rice was anti-farmer.

Addressing a press conference in Rohtak, Hooda said: “Due to such decisions, farmers will not be able to benefit from the high prices of food grains in the international market arising out of the Russia-Ukraine war.” He demanded immediate withdrawal of the decision and asked the government to start procuring paddy from September 20.

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).
