Panchkula: The Panchkula Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers on Wednesday continued their protest at Major Sandeep Sankhla Memorial Park in Sector 2 here. They had been on strike since August 7 in support of their demands that include that the government should treat them like its employees, they should be given a minimum income of Rs24000 per month and risk allowance of Rs4000. “If our demands are not met, we will intensify our protest,” CITU district secretary Lacchi Ram Sharma said. tns

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).
