In an effort to provide timely machinery for stubble management and raise awareness among farmers, Deputy Commissioner Preeti Yadav, along with the Patiala District Administration officials, has actively engaged with farmers in the field.

Today, the DC visited the stubble-burning hotspots from last year, including Bhankhar, Dakala and Devinagar villages. While interacting with the farmers, she assured them that the required machinery, such as balers, choppers, super seeders and surface seeders would be made available for both in-situ and ex-situ stubble management. Yadav met a farmer, using a baler to make bundles in Bala village and appreciated his efforts. Parvandeep Singh, a child, made an emotional appeal to farmers, urging them not to burn stubble.

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).
