Amritsar, September 10

Members of the Punjab Mulazam and Pensioners Sanjha Front today staged a protest outside the residence of Power Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO. Pensioners and ASHA workers were among those who took part in the demonstration.

Addressing the gathering, union leader Germanjit Singh accused the Bhagwant Mann-led state government of having an indifferent attitude towards the demands of contractual workers and pensioners.

The union leaders noted that they had met Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema in that regard thrice but the discussions remained inconclusive.

The agitators recalled that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) had vowed to double the minimum wages of workers, regularise all contractual employees, restore the Old Pension Scheme and make the Sixth Pay Commission more pro-employee ahead of the Assembly elections, but it never made good on those promises.

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).
