Tarn Taran, July 24

On the first day of the 14-day state-level chain fast, held under the banner of the Sehat Mulazam Sangharsh Committee, Punjab, five workers of the organisation sat on a day-long fast at the Civil Surgeon’s office today.

Employees included Sukhbir Kaur Dhillon, Parabhdeep Kaur Kairon, Jaswinder Kaur Ghariala, Gurbir Singh Pandori and Jaswinder Singh Amritsar.

Sukhbir Kaur, leader of the organisation, said they were protesting against the new recruitment carried out by the organisation. They said this would push the future of the employees into the dark. The leader said the services of these working employees should be regularised first. — OC

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).
