Chandigarh, July 26

The state government would hold talks with the Centre to allow non-resident Indians (NRIs) to purchase agricultural land. NRI Affairs Minister Kuldeep Dhaliwal today held a meeting with Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan on key issues affecting the NRIs of both the states.

Dhaliwal said the two states would jointly take up the matter with the Centre to seek a policy change to benefit the NRIs. They urged the Government of India to ensure that Indian missions should recruit staff familiar with vernacular languages.

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).
