Ludhiana, June 8

According to Punjab Agricultural University, the weather is expected to remain hot and dry over Ludhiana and its adjoining areas.

PAU experts have advised farmers to irrigate tomato, brinjal, chilli, capsicum and cucurbits but avoid overwatering. Harvest the crops at regular intervals to obtain high yield, PAU experts advised. “While harvesting the fruits, precaution should be taken to minimise disturbance to the plants. Take care of kharif onion nursery sown in March and irrigate regularly,” said an expert.

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).
