Sirsa, June 24

Farmers in the Fatehabad region have been showing a growing interest in cultivating moong (green gram) due to its dual benefits. The crop, which matures in just two to three months, offers a profit of Rs 20,000 to 25,000 per acre with minimal investment and helps improve soil fertility.

In villages such as Baliala, Bora, Nangal, Sardarewala, Rattangarh, Mirana, and Khai, farmers have begun sowing moong immediately after harvesting wheat. After the moong harvest, they plan to plant rice. Kuldeep, a farmer, said moong is a profitable crop which sown after wheat is harvested and matures before the rice transplanting season. Farmers emphasise that moong enhances soil fertility, thus providing double benefits to farmers.

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).
