Mohali, August 20

On a call given by the coordinating committee of the Revenue Patwar Union, Punjab, and the Revenue Kanungo Association, a protest was organised in front of the DC’s office in Mohali on Friday. Patwaris, kanungo, nambardar, chowkidars, kisan union leaders, retired Patwaris and were part of the protest.

The protesters demanded that the 18-month training period of Patwaris recruited in 2015 be included in their probation and the probation period be reduced to two years. They said 3,000 patwaris should be recruited, shortcomings of the Pay Commission should be rectified, along with allotting technical grades for patwaris and computers for old patwaris. Old pension scheme should be implemented for patwaris recruited before 2004. — 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).
