Chandigarh, November 29

Teaching and non-teaching staff of UT colleges decided to postpone their strike after getting assurances from the Education Department on implementing the 7th pay commission scales.

Representatives of colleges attended a meeting with the Director, Higher Education, Chandigarh, who is said to have given assurance on resolving the issues. The teachers have been demanding 7th pay commission scales and CAS promotion template as per the latest UGC guidelines.

Dr Gurmej, president, Chandigarh Aided College Teachers’ Association, and Dr Sutapa Saryal, secretary of the association, expressed satisfaction over the assurances given by the Director, Higher Education.

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).
