Chandigarh, March 7

A day after heavy rainfall, gusty winds and hailstorm hit parts of the state flattening wheat crop, the Agriculture Department on Saturday issued an advisory to farmers to drain out rainwater from their fields immediately.

Secretary (Agriculture) Kahan Singh Pannu has directed field officers of the department to get in touch with affected farmers for giving them advice in this difficult time.

Director (Agriculture) Sutantar Kumar Airy asked the officers to tour rain-hit areas and send reports to the head office immediately. — TNS

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).
