Zirakpur, December 3

Roads and public places remained littered with garbage in most parts of Zirakpur even as the sanitation workers called off their strike on the fifth day of their agitation.

Vinod Chugh and Pradip Sood, leaders of the sanitation workers’ union, said the strike had been called off and services of all eligible workers in Zirakpur, Dera Bassi and Lalru would be regularised in the next one week.

Meanwhile, officials said the sanitation workers had started removing garbage from Zirakpur, while in Dera Bassi and Lalru, garbage lifing would begin tomorrow.

Zirakpur Executive Officer Girish Verma said: “The matter has been resolved. Those workers who are eligible for regularisation will be put on regular job.” — 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).
