No lifting of paddy is being done at Nawanshahr and Jalandhar grain markets. There are 30 villages in Nawanshahr district and 79 in Jalandhar. The produce brought to mandis by farmers is, however, being procured.

In Jalandhar, 4,888 MT paddy arrived on Thursday. In all, 18,820 MT paddy has arrived in mandis and 12,178 MT has been procured. Following purchase, the produce is lying in the mandis.

“The produce that I brought to the mandi has been procured, but not lifted,” said Satnam Singh of Naura village in Banga.

Arhtiya Association chief Kashmiri Lal said there was no space at the shellers, that’s why no lifting was being done.

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).
