Panchkula, July 23

Scores of nursing officers working at the Civil Hospital in Sector 6 here wore black badges as a mark of protest against the state government today. They are demanding a nursing allowance of Rs 7,200 and recognition of nurses as Group B employees.

Vineeta Bangar, president of Haryana Nursing Welfare Association, said “Nursing staff under the Central government are paid Rs 9,000 as nursing allowance. We want the state government to provide us at least Rs 7,200 a month.”

She said pointed out that the protest did not hamper work at the hospital. “On Thursday, we will hold a two-hour strike; only a few nurses will work in the Emergency.”

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).
