New Delhi, November 15

Ahead of polls in agriculturally significant states like Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, PM Narendra Modi released the 15th instalment of the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme.

The release of the amount, which comes during the poll season in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Telangana — states with 1.83 crore farmer families registered under the scheme — evoked a sharp response from the Congress. Party’s Jairam Ramesh questioned the delay, describing it as “intentional” to coincide with the upcoming elections.

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).
