The Joint Teachers Association (JTA) and the Punjab and Haryana Employees Welfare Association (Deputationist) have decided to take out a foot march on March 24 towards the Chief Secretary’s office and hand over all documents regarding their deputation. Two days ago, these associations had urged the Chandigarh Administration to hold a meeting with them before making any policy regarding deputation.

Association president Ranbir Jhorar, JTA convener Dr Ramesh Chand Sharma, president Dinesh Dahiya, legal advisor Arvind Rana, general secretary Ajay Sharma, Dharam Singh and Pushpendra Barar said the Administration was forcing them to come out on streets, when all documents made it clear that there could be no time limit on employees coming from Punjab and Haryana.

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).
