Chandigarh, September 17

Representatives of the Punjab Basmati Rice Millers and Exporters’ Association met with Cabinet Ministers Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa and Bharat Bhushan Ashu.

It was reportedly decided that exporters would pay just 0.5 per cent as a market fee and 0.5 per cent as rural development fee.

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).
