Standing crop on 40,000 acres was damaged in 113 villages during recent floods in Ferozepur district, according to an initial assessment. Deputy Commissioner Deepshika Sharma said 38,614 people were impacted by the deluge while two people died due to it.

As many as 76 heads of cattle died during the calamity, she added. The DC said the survey to assess crop loss and other damage would be completed by October 10, while compensation disbursement would begin the next day.

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).
