The state body of the Rural Pharmacy Officers Association, in a meeting held here today, announced plans to organise a state-level demonstration in Tarn Taran on November 2 to press for their long-pending demands. The meeting was attended by members of the state body.

Addressing the gathering, association leaders Jyot Ram Madnipur, Swarat Sharma, and Harinder Singh Dhunda said they have been working with the state government on meagre salaries for nearly 20 years, yet their services have not been regularised, nor has the government made any proposal in this regard.

The leaders warned that if the government fails to regularise their services by November 2, they would launch an indefinite dharna thereafter.

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).
