Karnal, February 9

Hundreds of anganwari workers and helpers on Tuesday protested outside the CM’s camp office to press for their demands. They are seeking promotion of workers as supervisor and increase in wages of workers by Rs 1,500 and helpers by Rs 750.

They have served an ultimatum of one week to the government. They said they would hand over memorandums to MPs on February 13 and stage a state-level protest on February 14 in Karnal. Rupa Rana, district president, Anganwari Workers’ and Helpers’ Association, said they had been staging a dharna for the past two months but the government had failed to take note. She said they would continue the protest if their demands were not fulfilled. —

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).
