Chandigarh, November 22

Wheat sowing has reached the final stage. So far, it has been sown on about 86 per cent of the area. The sowing of the crop in the cotton and potato belt is late.

Punjab Agricultural University had recommended that sowing of wheat should be completed by November 15. But the delayed harvesting of paddy has also had its impact on it. Wheat is to be sown in about 35 lakh hectare in Punjab. Last year, the crop was sown on 35.17 lakh hectare. In the sugarcane-growing area, late varieties of wheat are sown.

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).
