Shimla, July 25

As many as 305 procurement centres will be opened for the implementation of Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) for the procurement of grade ‘C’ apple in the state this season.

“As many as 169 collection centres will be opened and operated by the HPMC and 136 by HIMFED. Funds amounting to Rs 259.84 lakh have been proposed for it by the Horticulture Department,” said a spokesperson of Horticulture Department. The procurement price has been fixed at Rs 10.50 per kg for this year and the handing charges will be Rs 2.75 per kg.

He further said that fruits would be procured in 35 kg gunny bags with 2.5 per cent more fruits to compensate for evapotranspiration and respiration losses.

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).
