Punjab Milkfed Chairman Narinder Singh Shergill on alleged that previous governments tried to “shut down” the firm and amended ESR law to merge its flagship brand with Amul, which significantly weakened the organisation.

“We strengthened Verka. Two years ago, Verka's revenue was Rs 4,500 crore and now it has increased to Rs 6,200 crore,” he added.

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).
