Chandigarh, May 4

Disappointed over sudden discontinuation of the “monthly relief” provided by the Centre migrant Kashmiri Pandits (KPs) have demanded its immediate resumption.

Bharat Bhushan Suri, president, and Ajay Mattoo, general secretary of the Voice of KP Migrants, Chandigarh, said Kashmiri migrants residing in the city were facing grievances, particularly in relation to the monthly relief provided by the Central Government through the UT Administration.

The Ad hoc Monthly Relief, essential support system which many in the community relied upon for their livelihoods, had been abruptly halted for almost a year now, they stated.

They demanded immediate restoration of the relief programme.

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).
