Tarn Taran, August 14

Employees of the state government lodged a protest stressing on their demands today and presented memorandums to the authorities concerned.

The protesting employees wore black clothes with black badges. Members of the Punjab Subordinate Services Federation (PSSF) organised a march to the office of Dr Dharambeer Agnihotri, local MLA where they presented a memorandum to Sandeep Agnihotri, son of the MLA. Baljinder Singh Doblian, District President of the organisation, condemned the state government for reducing the mobile allowance of employees and not releasing them their due dearness allowance installments.

He condemned the indifferent attitude of the state government towards the current state of employees. Workers of the Punjab Water Supply and Sanitation Contract Workers Union too organised a protest march. — 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).
