Farmers belonging to BKU (Kadian) have demanded an increase in the compensation for the crop loss and its immediate release.

BKU (Kadian) district president Bhupinder Singh and Kuldeep Singh said due to the unseasonal rains in the past few days, crops had been damaged. They said wheat and other crops of many farmers had been damaged from 60 to 80 per cent. Crops that had been flattened would be difficult to harvest and the yield would also be very low.

They said the government had announced a compensation of Rs 15,000 per acre, which was very less. They said that last year too, wheat and paddy crops suffered a lot of damage. Submitting a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner, they demanded that farmers be given compensation of the previous and current years immediately.

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).
