New Delhi, November 26

The rabi coverage has increased by 24.13 lakh hectare over the last one year, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar today said expressing satisfaction that area under the key crop — wheat — has also increased by 14.53 lakh hectare.

“Major wheat growing states have reported increased area coverage as compared to last year. For wheat, there is an increase in area coverage by 14.53 lakh hectares over last year, the highest in last four years. The coverage so far is 152.88 lakh hectares as compared to 138.35 lakh hectares in the corresponding period last year,” according to an official statement.

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).
