Days after the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Charuni) levelled allegations of unauthorised charges levied by commission agents during the sunflower procurement season, an investigation has been launched at the Shahabad grain market to verify the claims. The farmers’ union submitted its complaint before the panel constituted to investigate the matter on Friday.

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).
