Chandigarh, December 28

Teachers today sought support of PPCC president Navjot Singh Sidhu for implementing the revised UGC pay scales as per the Seventh Pay Commission. The teachers assembled at the Congress Bhawan, Sector 15.

“The Punjab Government has failed to fulfil the long-pending demands of university and college teachers,” they said.

PPCC general secretary Joginder Pal Dhingra met the teachers and assured them of resolving their issues.

Dhingra also accompanied a delegation of the PUTA to meet Deputy Chief Minister OP Soni to apprise him of the issues. Soni assured them of resolving the matter soon.

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).
