A petition has been filed in public interest before the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking timely and adequate allocation of diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertiliser to Punjab. The Bench has fixed November 11 for hearing the petition alleging “acute shortage” of DAP fertiliser crucial for the upcoming wheat crop slated for sowing in Punjab from late October to mid-November.

Appearing in person, petitioner-advocate Fateh Singh Dhillon argued that the shortage could lead to significant crop losses and economic hardship for 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).
