The Cabinet convened to discuss key amendments to the state’s mining policy. The proposed changes aim to assist farmers whose fields were flooded during recent monsoon rains.

Under the revised policy, these farmers would be allowed to extract and sell sand that has been deposited on their land due to the floods.

This move is seen as both a relief measure and a way to economically empower affected farmers by converting flood deposits into a resource.

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).
