Chandigarh, March 26

A delegation of the Punjab Rice Millers’ Association today called on Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak here today, seeking a transparent rice milling policy.

The delegation led by association president Tarsem Saini also requested the minister to take steps for stopping pilferage of paddy, which is stored in rice mills for custom milling.

Every year, pilferage of paddy causes a huge loss to the state exchequer. Kataruchak assured the delegation that a sound policy catering to the interests of rice millers would be framed soon.

Meanwhile, in Gurdaspur, Kataruchak today held a meeting with officials of his department, directing them to streamline the wheat procurement process commencing on April 1. —

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).
