Chandigarh, May 26

PCC chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has demanded lifting of ban on the export of wheat. In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Warring said, the ban needed to be reconsidered since the country had already adequate buffer stocks available and there was a growing demand in the international market for wheat.

Warring also urged CM Bhagwant Mann to take up the matter with the Prime Minister as the ban had caused the maximum loss to Punjab farmers. He said godowns and warehouses across the country were full to the capacity and a considerable quantity of wheat was rotting. “Now is the time when India can export surplus wheat to the needy countries.

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).
