Chandigarh, July 20

Former Chief Minister and INLD supremo Om Prakash Chautala today demanded a compensation of Rs 50,000 per acre for farmers whose crops were destroyed during the recent floods.

Addressing a press conference here, he said floods had wrecked havoc across Haryana and the state government should announce relief for farmers immediately.

Claiming that “parivartan yatra”, undertaken by his son and Ellenabad MLA Abhay Chautala, received tremendous response, and that people were desperately waiting for elections next year to throw the BJP-JJP government out of power.

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).
