Jalandhar, August 6

The Agriculture Department on Thursday held a webinar for the farmers wherein their queries were dealt with and the issues being faced by them amid the pandemic were discussed. The officials guided the farmers via video-conferencing. Around 10 farmers from the district attended today’s seminar.

Naresh Gulati, the agriculture officer, said that holding interactions with the farmers was only alternative and beneficial also. “Because the farmer could be sitting anywhere, he may be at his home or in the fields, the department can connect to them and they can easily join in too,” Gulati 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).
