New Delhi, August 2
Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday asked the government to keep revising the MSPs of crops on a higher side to control the market forces and ensure farmers get a fair remuneration for their produce.
Noting that a good market price for farm produce is the real solution, Dhankhar urged the government to keep raising the MSPs. “If you do that, market forces will also be forced to pay better prices and will remain balanced,” he said. Dhankhar expressed his views when Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was replying to the debate on the agriculture allocation in the Budget in the Rajya Sabha today. — TNS

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).
