The Punjab government on Tuesday launched a mobile app, Beej, for farmers so that they gain information on whether the seeds they buy are approved.

The app was launched by Agriculture Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal.

He said the need for this arose after cotton growers in the state suffered huge losses by buying unapproved seeds.

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).
