Tarn Taran, July 10

Members of the Anganwari Mulazim Union (CITU), Punjab, submitted a memorandum of their demands to Prime Minister Narendra Modi through Deputy Commissioner Sandeep Kumar while observing ‘demands day’ here on Wednesday.

Leaders of the union condemned non-payment of the monthly allowance to the employees of the anganwari centres of five blocks.

Anoop Kaur Baler, district president, and Beant Kaur, district secretary of the union, said employees had been taken over by the government for the last 11 months, but they have been working without the honorarium since then.

Other leaders too addressed on the occasion and demanded the honorarium of Rs 26,000 till they were given the status of NTT (teacher).

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).
