Shahkot (Jalandhar), September 6

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Wednesday said the AAP government had betrayed the peasantry by limiting proposed disbursal of relief for paddy crop loss to five acres per farmer and announcing relief of Rs 6,800 per acre as per the Central Government norms.

Addressing a gathering at the Gidderpindi grain market, the SAD president said, “it is shocking that the AAP government has not ensured fair compensation to victims.” — TNS

‘RENAMING COUNTRY WON’T MAKE IT STRONG’

Reacting to the controversy surrounding renaming of India as Bharat, Badal termed the move as a political stunt.
“Changing the name of a country does not make it strong. The Centre’s focus should rather be on performance,” he said.

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).
