Chandigarh, October 14

The collection of garbage from public places will be affected tomorrow, announced the Safai Karamchari Union today. However, the door-to-door collection from homes will take place as usual.

The Safai Karamchari Union will go on a strike outside the Municipal Corporation office tomorrow to protest the “selective tagging of safai karamcharis through GPS-enabled watches to keep a tab on the movement of the field staff and irregularities in their attendance”.

Union leader KK Chadha said: “Why this selective tagging? If it has to be implemented, do it for all 4,000 employees of the MC. Where is the place to charge these watches? What if it is lost during charging? If the watch shows incorrect location, how do we prove our innocence?” — 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).
