Hindi teachers’ protest

Sangrur

Irked over the government’s alleged indifferent attitude towards their demand of regularisation of services, the CSS Hindi Teachers Union, Punjab, began indefinite strike on the Sangrur-Sunam road here on Monday. The teachers were recruited in 2010 under a centrally-sponsored scheme, which was scrapped in March 2012. The government adjusted them in the Education Department, but at a reduced salary of Rs10,300 per month against Rs18,000 a month.

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).
