The strike call was given by the outsourced employees of the Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) and Chandigarh City Bus Service Society. To cope with the situation, some employees operating interstate buses were deputed on the city buses. Officials said no Tricity route was affected due to the strike.

The Essential Services Maintenance Act (ESMA) was invoked as it was already envisioned that the employees may go on strike.

Nearly 100 outsourced employees who participated in the strike by violating the ESMA orders have been sacked by directing the outsourcing agency.

Further, the bus operators, whose drivers participated in the strike, have been issued notices that action would be taken against them.

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).
