Chandigarh, April 27

The Centre on Wednesday increased the subsidy amount on DAP fertiliser.

It has decided to keep the prices low for farmers.

In Punjab, farmers get a 50 kilogram bag of DAP for Rs 1,350 as against Rs 1,200 earlier.

With regard to DAP fertiliser, the subsidy has now been increased five times to Rs 2,501 per bag which was Rs 1,650 during 2021-22 and Rs 512 in the year 2020-21.

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).
