Malerkotla, July 6

The district administration has launched a coordinated movement to achieve the target of managing 100 per cent paddy residue during the forthcoming harvesting season.

The administration aims to achieve this by scaling up in-situ and ex-situ crop residue management (CRM) practices in all three subdivisions.

As many as 1,434 pieces of modern equipment, including happy seeders, surface seeders, zero till drills, Straw Management Systems (SMSs), RMB ploughs, culture crop reapers, paddy chopper reapers and balers, have been prepared to this end. DC Pallavi said departments associated with paddy cultivation had been asked to draft a plan for handling paddy residue. Sources in the Agricultural Department said 243 farmers had come forward to procure 371 machines on subsidy.

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).
