Mohali, July 22

The Senior Vets Association condemned the “nonchalant” attitude of the state government towards the demands of government medical, veterinary, dental, homoeopathic and ayurvedic doctors, who had been protesting against the reduction in the non-practising allowance from 25 to 20 per cent.

Dr Gurinder Singh Walia, former Joint Director, Animal Husbandry, Punjab, and member of the Punjab State Veterinary Council, said it was unfortunate that an elite class of doctors was compelled to take the protest to the roads to wake up the government, which had failed to fulfil the aspirations of the people. He said while every government employee expected an increase in salary upon the implementation of 6th Punjab Pay Commission recommendations, but it had belied their belief. — 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).
