Calling off their strike after suspending work for two days, door-to-door garbage collectors on Tuesday said the waste collection process would begin from tomorrow.

The door-to-door garbage collectors had gone on an indefinite strike on Monday.

The garbage collectors had first suspended their work for a day on December 21 and the MC Commissioner had called them for a meeting on December 26. As the problems remained unresolved, the collectors had announced an indefinite strike on Monday.

The protesting workers were demanding better wages, including a salary hike, as the workload has increased.

The MC had on Monday decided to implement the principle of “no work, no pay”, which means that the salaries will be cut for the protesting staff for the days they remained on strike (on December 21 as well).

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).
