Mohali, December 12

Contractual workers of the Water Supply and Sanitation Department today staged a protest to press for regular service and other demands. A few of them climbed atop the Issapur water tank during the protest.

State senior vice-president of the workers’ union Suresh Kumar and others said the salaries of the workers had been withheld for several months. An increase of Rs 715 in the wages of labourers announced by the present government has not been implemented. They have asked the Chief Minister six times for a meeting to resolve their issues, but in vain.

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).
