Bhiwani, February 25

Hail, coupled with rain, lashed several villages of the Loharu region in Bhiwani district this evening, causing damage to the rabi crops.

Crops, including mustard, wheat and vegetables, were damaged in villages Singhani, Kharkhari, Budhedi, Nakipur, Chahar and adjoining villages of Bhiwani district. A farmer from Chahar village, Sombir Singh, said mustard was almost at the flowering stage and the hail had extensively damaged mustard plants. “We are assessing the losses. The hail occurred for about 10 minutes and a white shield enveloped the fields,” he said. —

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).
