Chandigarh, May 3

More than 100 faculty members of Panjab University met Vice-Chancellor Raj Kumar and Satya Pal Jain, former MP, for submitting a representation addressed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

“Through recent notification of Home Ministry, central service rules are applicable from 1st April 2022 on employees of Chandigarh that are under administrative control of the Administrator of Chandigarh. As a result of this notification, teachers of many colleges of Chandigarh have got 7th pay scales and will now retire at 65 years. Interestingly, being inter-state corporate body, Panjab University has not been covered in this notification and therefore University teachers are still to get 7th Pay scales and other central benefits,” read the representation.

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).
