Chandigarh, September 4

The Punjab Federation of University and College Teachers’ Organisation (PFUCTO), an association of the PCCTU, the GCTA, the GNDUTA, the PAUTA, GADVASU and PUTA, in its meeting decided to call off the proposed protest scheduled on Teacher’s Day at Barnala.

In a statement, Dr Lakhwinder Singh Kang, president, PFUCTO, said the meeting reviewed the discussions held with the Finance Minister and Higher Education Minister, Punjab, in a meeting and the developments thereafter.

All members acknowledged the willingness and sincerity of the government representatives to amicably resolve the long-pending demand of implementation of revised pay scales as recommended by the UGC in year 2016.

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).
