Mohali, June 25

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said the farm economy of the state had been endangered by the Congress government with massive power cuts and insufficient canal water.

He was here to install new Kharar municipal committee president Jaspreet Kaur Longia. Sukhbir said as the top Congress leadership was engaged in an internal feud, state farmers had been left to fend for themselves. For the first time ever, canal water supply had been disrupted, which threatens to destroy the crop in Malwa region, he said. — 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).
