Rajya Sabha MP Sant Balbir Singh Seechewal toured the flood-hit villages along with volunteers. Seechewal provided two boats to rescue stranded farmers and deliver food to them.

Farmers in the Mand area have urged Seechewal to press for the opening of the Harike Head gates to facilitate drainage of floodwaters. He assured them of full support, pledging to stand by the farming community and arranging green fodder for cattle in the affected villages.

According to Seechewal, paddy crops in the Baupur area have suffered extensive damage, with fields submerging under four or five feet of water. Volunteers are maintaining constant vigil over rising waters and remain on-site to assist the affected population.

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).
