The Haryana Government’s apex cooperative federation, HAFED, has started exploring business opportunities in other countries to boost exports.

HAFED Managing Director A Sreenivas said it had received an order for the export of 20,000 tonne rice, valued at $21.95 million, to Saudi Arabia. HAFED successfully delivered its first consignment of 2,500 tonne basmati rice on September 10, 2022, the remaining quantity is likely to be dispatched in the last week of September. HAFED has procured over 20,000 MT basmati rice from Haryana farmers at market rates.

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).
