New Delhi, September 14

The government on Thursday further reduced the stock limit on wheat traders, wholesalers and big chain retailers to 2,000 tonnes from 3,000 tonnes with immediate effect amid uptick in prices.

On June 12, the government had imposed a stock limit of 3,000 tonnes on wheat traders till March next year. The stock limit has now been reduced to 2,000 tonnes as the government found an “uptick in the wheat prices on the NCDEX by 4 per cent to Rs 2,550 per quintal in the past one month,” said Food Secretary Sanjeev Chopra at a press conference.

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).
