Chandigarh, June 14

Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Jai Prakash Dalal has said maize dryer would be made available in grain markets of the state so that farmers did not face any inconvenience in selling their crops.

He said the state government was motivating farmers to maintain the groundwater level. For this, the government had launched an ambitious and far-reaching scheme called “Mera Pani, Meri Virasat” under which many farmers were adopting alternative crops instead of paddy.

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).
