Chandigarh, August 25

After the successful use of a digital platform for wheat procurement amid the Covid crisis, the state government is going to use the same process in the procurement of paddy, beginning October 1.

Under the new Punjab Custom Milling Policy for Paddy for Kharif, 2020-21, the Cabinet today gave its nod to a proposal of the Food Civil Supplies Department of launching a dedicated portal — www.anaajkharid.in — to undertake the process of milling and delivery of rice into the Central pool from more than 4,150 mills operating in the state. — TNS

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).
