Patiala, April 11

A total of 981 metric tonnes (MT) of wheat has arrived at 11 grain markets situated in the district.

Pawan Kumar Singla, chairman, Arhtiya Association, Patiala, said procurement agencies were hesitant to procure wheat as it had high-moisture content.

District Mandi Officer Ajaypal Singh Brar said high level of moisture was detected in the wheat crop harvested in the first week of April.

Brar said efforts were underway to release timely payment to farmers.

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).
