Jhajjar, July 11

Under the aegis of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), ASHA, mid-day meal and anganwadi workers, gramin chowkidars and safai karamcharis today staged a protest to press for their long-standing demands. The workers assembled at the grain market and marched towards the Mini-Secretariat here.

They submitted a memorandum of their demands, including regularisation of services and hike in minimum wages up to Rs 26,000, along with other benefits, to the district authorities. The workers also threatened to sharpen their agitation if the demands were not met soon.

The protesters accused the state government of adopting a lethargic attitude towards their demands, adding that their demands were valid but the government was turning a blind eye towards these.

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).
