Panchkula, January 25

In a relief to workers of the HMT tractor division, that was closed by the Cente in October last year, the pending salaries were paid to them today. As many as 967 employees, who had not been paid since August 2014, received the salaries in their bank accounts today.

The workers said it was a relief for them as they were struggling to meet their daily needs. The workers were asked to take the voluntary retirement scheme, but only 816 of the total 967 availed of it.

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).
