Mohali, December 3

Unruly scenes were witnessed near Punjab CM Charanjit Channi’s residence in Kharar when unemployed ETT (TET)-qualified teachers clashed with the police.

The protesters crossed two barricades following which the police used mild lathicharge. The protesters staged a dharna near the third barricade.

Union’s state president Deepak Kamboj said eight protesters suffered injuries during the clash with the police. Param Fazilka and Aman Fazilka have been protesting atop a water tank near Sohana for the past 43 days. Their health is deteriorating but the Punjab Government is showing no sympathy towards the unemployed teachers. — 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).
