Abohar, October 18

The market committee today issued a notice to an arhtiya for transporting paddy from other states.

Sources said he had purchased 350 quintals of paddy from Rajasthan below the minimum support price (MRP). It is learnt that Punjab-based traders purchase hundreds of tonnes of paddy, wheat and mustard from neighbouring markets of Sadulshehar and Sriganganagar at lower prices and then sell the same to state and Central agencies at the minimum support price. Though nakas are laid on the Abohar-Sriganganagar and Abohar-Hanumangarh highways to prevent the movement of trucks coming from other places, link roads connecting Abohar with Rajasthan defeat the purpose. — OC

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).
