Jalandhar, May 7

District Agriculture Department officials said wheat yield was not affected as much as it was expected this time. According to the data, around 4.90 lakh metric tonnes (MT) of wheat arrived in mandis. Last year, the arrival was recorded at 4,67,452 MT.

Notably, due to bad weather conditions, farmers were wary that they would suffer a lot and there would be lesser yield too. However, the situation remained under control in Jalandhar.

Chief Agriculture Officer Jaswant Rai said: “The grain didn’t shrink as much and the crop that was flattened was also recovered”.

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).
