Chandigarh: As per a revised advisory, farmers have been told to prefer mechanised practices over manual exercises as far as possible

Only limited numbers of persons should be allowed to accompany the harvesters. All harvesters should be sanitised at the entry point of the field and in regular intervals

Those engaged in the operations should use cloth masks and ensure hand washing at regular intervals, besides maintaining social distancing

The collection of the produce should be undertaken in small heaps spaced at 3-4 ft between them and field level cleaning/processing should only be assigned to one or two persons

All transport vehicles, gunny bags or other packaging material should also be sanitised at various ends

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).
