Chandigarh, May 18

The Punjab Cabinet has on Wednesday decided to recruit 1,700 retired kanungos and patwaris to fill in the vacancies in the Revenue Department.

The Cabinet led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has decided to increase the compensation given to families of martyrs from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore.

The Cabinet approved the decision taken by the CM to give Rs 1,500 per acre as financial assistance to those opting for direct seeding of rice. The money will be transferred to the accounts of the farmers using DBT.

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).
