Patiala, April 16

A total of 46,793 metric tonnes (MT) of wheat has arrived at 11 grain markets situated in the district.

DC Showkat Ahmad Parray said 34,995 MT of wheat had been purchased so far.

He said that 11,220 MT had been procured by Pungrain, 3,853 MT by Markfed, 9,209 MT by Punsup, 4,918 MT by warehouses and 5,795 MT by private traders.

The DC also appealed to farmers to bring wheat to mandis having the right moisture content.

Pawan Kumar Singla, chairman, Arhtiyas’ Association, Patiala, said procurement agencies were hesitant to purchase wheat with high-moisture content.

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).
