Mandi, July 9

The state government is planning to introduce sandalwood cultivation at Dharampur Assembly of Mandi district to strengthen the economy of farmers in the region.

According to sources, around 10 hectare land has been identified at Longni under Dharampur Assembly, where nurseries of sandalwood will be developed for organised farming in the region.

Jal Shakti Minister Mahender Singh Thakur said the state government was in the process to introduce sandalwood cultivation in Dharampur.

“It will be an additional source of income for the farmers of the area. Organised cultivation of sandalwood will play a crucial role to boost the economy of farmers in the region,” he added.

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).
