Chandigarh, July 22

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal today said the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government was endangering the farm economy of the state by mismanaging power supply to the rural sector with paddy saplings withering due to severe power outages.

In a statement here, he said, “At a time when the canals are virtually dry, the AAP government has failed to provide the mandatory eight-hour uninterrupted power supply to the rural sector despite grandiose claims by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann that he had made ample arrangements for ensuring power supply for paddy transplantation. Farmers are barely getting four-five hour power supply. Paddy yield will be affected due to the AAP government’s failure to provide adequate power supply to farmers.”

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).
