Tarn Taran, November 23

The group of differently abled people which has been staging an indefinite dharna outside the residence of Dr Kashmir Singh Sohal — AAP MLA from Tarn Taran — over the removal of two differently abled employees of the Tarn Taran Municipal Council organised a protest march in the town today.

Lakhbir Singh Saini, the state president of the Punjab Diviang Action Committee, said two differently abled women — Sukhjit Kaur and Rajan Randhawa — who had been serving in the Municipal Council for the last four years, were removed. He alleged that the Tarn Taran MC did not follow the legal process while removing the two contractual employees.

The administration has yet not taken any step to resolve the issue. Saini has said that they would keep fighting for justice.

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).
