Tarn Taran, November 4

The employees of The Tarn Taran Central Cooperative Bank on the third day of their pen down strike staged a protest outside the bank and appealed the state government to accede to their demand. The employees are demanding salaries as per the sixth pay commission.

The services in all the 40 branches of the bank across the district came to a halt because of which customers faced inconvenience.

The union leaders warned that the agitation would be intensified if the government failed to respond to their demand. They added that employees of all the 20 banks of the state would join their strike from November 14 onward. The also employees raised slogans against the state government.

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).
