Chandigarh, April 14

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday directed the state procurement agencies to ensure resumption of mandi operations within hours of stoppage of rain in various parts of state.

A spokesperson of the Punjab Government said the CM laid emphasis on the welfare of farmer and directed the officials to ensure farmers were not put to inconvenience as a result of inclement weather.

Light rain accompanied by strong winds had lashed many parts of the state leading to the possibility of temporary disruptions.

Meanwhile, officials of the Department of Food and Civil Supplies, Mandi Board and other agencies held a meet to chalk out the plan. —

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).
