Chandigarh, June 28

Sudden hike in tomato prices across the country has been serving as nightmare for households. As per the reports, prices of the staple vegetablerose steeply from Rs 10-20 per kg to Rs 80-100 in last 5 days.

Be that what it may, netizens have lapped up the affair and have initiated a laugh riot over the sudden upsurge in prices. They are sharing rib-tickling memes on how tomato is now the boss and seeks separate identity from the other average-selling vegetables.

The reason behind this sharp hike in tomato prices is the dip in supply due to heatwaves in tomato-growing areas and heavy rain.

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).
