Mohali, September 8

Members of the Contractual Teachers’ Union ended their 85-day sit-in outside the office of Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) and the Education Department in Phase 8 after the Punjab Government acceded to some of their demands.

The officials said initially, 8,393 posts would be filled and after that the remaining 5,000 teachers would be accommodated.

The teachers, who had been camping on the roof of the building for the past 85 days, came down. However, their demonstration would continue peacefully till all teachers are regularised. On June 16, temporary, non-permanent and ad hoc teachers unions began a dharna demanding regularisation of service and a hike in salary. — 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).
