Tarn Taran, January 3

Doctors, para-medical and ministerial staff and other employees working under the National Health Mission (NHM) scheme organised a ‘jago’ in the town on Monday. The protesters marched up to the residence of the local MLA, Dr Dharambeer Agnihotri, where they raised slogans against the state government. They had been demanding the regularisation of their services.

Jasbir Singh Ghariala, president of the district unit of the NHM Employees’ Association, Punjab, said they had been working in the Health Department for the last 15 years, but their services had not been regularised till date as the state government had done nothing but to dilly-dally their current demands. — 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).
