Yamunanagar, April 9

Two farmers have lost four acre wheat crop to fire at Gundiana village of Yamunanagar district.

Farmer Sanju Gundiana, district president of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU), has alleged that he and his uncle Suresh Pal lost wheat crop due to short circuit caused by overhead electricity wires.

Gundiana said the fire broke out at 2 pm on Friday, in which one acre of his land and three acres of his uncle’s land got gutted.

“The government should snap power supply to the agriculture sector during the day as wheat is ready for harvesting almost in all fields in the area and short circuit can lead to a fire breakout anytime,” he said, adding that the government should give appropriate compensation for the crop lost in the fire.

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.
