Electrical workers have decided to observe a strike on January 8 next year in support of their demands.

The decision was taken in the general conference of the Electrical Workmen Union held at Electrical Store, Sector 25, here today. Mukesh Anand, chief engineer-cum-special secretary, Engineering Department, inaugurated the conference, which was attended by more than 300 delegates. Naseeb Jakhar, president, INTUC, demanded implementation of equal pay for equal work for outsourced employees. Demands, including creation of new posts, regularisation of contractual employees, filling up of vacant posts, were raised in the meeting. — 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).
