Seb Utpadak Sangh, an apple organisation affiliated with the CPM, has threatened to launch an agitation if the government doesn’t order the use of universal carton for the packaging of apple. The government has left it to the growers to decide the packaging material, but it has, capped the maximum weight of the fruit at 24 kg per box.

“If the government doesn’t make universal carton mandatory, we will launch an agitation,” said Sohan Thakur, president, Seb Utpadak Sangh. He said they would also demand transportation charges on the basis of weight.

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).
