The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) on Wednesday expressed its solidarity with fruit growers of Kulgam and Shopian whose orchards were devastated by high speed winds on Monday.

“Many small growers lost everything, and are left with nothing to pay back their bank loans or advance money taken from fruit traders,” the KCCI said. It appealed to the LG administration for liberal compensation to the farmers/growers whose crops have been affected. “This will provide them succor and help them to fulfil day-to-day needs of their families in difficult times ahead,” the statement said.

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).
