The new grain market here saw the arrival of narma cotton on Tuesday. Despite a meagre arrival of only 75 quintals and bad weather, traders began purchasing the cotton, citing “shubh mahurat”.

“This time, narma cotton produce is better than the last year as farmers have increased the area under cotton,” said Jannat Bansal, a representative of a private cotton factory, who purchased the first lot at Rs 7,131 per quintal. Arhtiya Vikram Tinna also expressed hope for a good season. As per the official cotton market bulletin, the lowest price of narma cotton in the last week of July was Rs 7,200 a quintal.

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).
