New Delhi, April 1

Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar today informed the Rajya Sabha that the government would form a panel on the Minimum Support Price (MSP), as promised by the Prime Minister, as early as possible if it received the names of representatives from the Samyukt Kisan Morcha.

Speaking in response to a supplementary question by DMK’s M Shanmugam, Tomar said the government was committed to setting up a committee as promised by the PM while announcing the withdrawal of farm laws that farmers had opposed for over a year.

He said the PM had said a committee would be formed on organic farming and that MSP would be made more transparent.

The government was working on these issues. —

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).
