Chandigarh, August 9

Cab and auto-rickshaw drivers of the tricity will go on an indefinite hunger strike from tomorrow at Sector 25. Recently, a cab driver was murder near Mullanpur. Union spokesperson Inderjit Singh said negligence on the part of the companies had exposed them to criminal conspiracies. He cited unchecked operations of vehicles with private numbers. He said while drivers would stay off the road, the unions would not stop anyone from operating cabs and autos.

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).
