As incessant rains wreak havoc in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and J&K, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday held a meeting to assess damage.

Chouhan said he would soon visit Punjab to conduct ground assessment of crop loss and engage farmers on the impact of floods.

“I especially wish to assure my farmer friends in Punjab not to worry about anything. The Union Government is with them in this hour of crisis. I will soon visit flood-affected areas of Punjab and meet farmers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the inter-ministerial central teams constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs will visit flood-hit areas in Punjab on Tuesday.

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).
