Jalandhar, July 30

Watchmen from rural areas under the banner of Lal Jhanda Pendu Chaunkidar Union, Punjab, today hold a convention at Desh Bhagat Yadgar Hall to discuss their long pending demands.

While addressing the gathering, Paramjit Singh Neelo said, "The watchmen in the rural areas are being mistreated. Their monthly wages has been fixed to 800. However, they have not got the wages for the past many months."

Speaking about their demands, he said their services should be brought under the labour laws and the wages be increased accordingly.

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).
