Chandigarh, May 4

To give fillip to bilateral trade, Australian High Commissioner Barry O’Farrell evinced keen interest to forge collaboration, especially in the field of agriculture and skill development, with Punjab on the pattern of Gujarat and Maharashtra.

Responding to O’Farrell’s proposal, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann assured him of all cooperation and support in this regard so as to propel Punjab in the high-growth trajectory.

A three-member Australian delegation led by O’Farrell, including MP Gurmesh Singh and Second Secretary (Political) Jack Taylor, called on the CM at his residence today.

Mann said Punjabis had fairly contributed in socio-economic development of all countries, including Australia.

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).
