Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development and Fisheries Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian on Wednesday directed the department officials to complete the 21st livestock census by the end of February 2025.

Stressing importance of data collection regarding the number of animals categorised by their breeds and other characteristics, he said this field survey would serve as a critical touchstone, highlighting the current status of the livestock sector and setting the stage for future planning. The minister, along with Punjab State Farmers’ & Farm Workers’ Commission Chairman Dr Sukhpal Singh, held a meeting with the Animal Husbandry Department officials to review the ongoing projects.

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).
