The Joint Teachers Association (JTA), comprising teachers from Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, SSA and Computer Instructors, today announced their decision to hold a peaceful protest on July 31.

They are demand ingconfirmation of service for the 2015 batch teachers and the immediate release of their pending financial benefits as per the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order passed in March 2025.

“The indefinite extension of the probation period is not only illegal and unconstitutional, but also violates the clear guidelines issued by the Department of Personnel & Training. It a severe blow to the morale of teachers,” stated the JTA.

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).
