“Rana uthayega fasal ya Saini uthayega?” INLD president Abhay Singh Chautala asked sharply during his visit to the Fatehabad grain market on Wednesday, questioning Mandi Secretary Amit Rohilla over delays in wheat lifting. His remarks drew laughter and applause from farmers present at the site.

Chautala said he had noticed long queues of tractors waiting outside the additional mandi with the gates closed. “I called the secretary on the phone and told him if I see even one tractor on the road, I will have him stand outside the mandi holding his ears all day,” he told a gathering at the Farmer Welfare Centre.

THE TRIBUNE, India’s oldest, daily English-language newspaper, was first published on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan), and save for 40 days in the immediate aftermath of Partition, has come out every day over the last 145 years. THE TRIBUNE was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist of the time. The newspaper is run by a five-member Trust, which is chaired by Shri N N Vohra, former Governor of J&K State (2008-2018); as well as Justice S S Sodhi, former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court; Shri Gurbachan Jagat, former Governor of Manipur; Lt Gen. Shamsher Singh Mehta, former Western Army Commander; Shri Paramjit Singh Patwalia, Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court.

THE TRIBUNE is free, objective, and independent. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language, are the hallmarks of the paper.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
