Director School Education (Secondary) Sanjeev Kumar Sharma today held a meeting with members of the Democratic Teachers’ Front (DTF) led by Punjab president Vikramdev Singh and secretary Mukesh Kumar. A panel meeting was held with Sanjeev Kumar Sharma, to discuss selection issues of teachers. The teachers were assured regarding the long-pending promotions of master cadre from the primary (ETT) for the last five years.

Punjab Finance Secretary Ashwani Awasthi said about 125 ODL teachers were supposed to be regularised and while orders of 100 teachers have already been issued, 25 are still in wait.

The DTF delegation also requested for the allowance of Rs 1,000 per month to be given to disabled employees that was ensured but still not being implemented in many districts.

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).
