Sirsa, August 14

Clerical staff in Haryana, who began a warning strike from August 12 to August 14, have decided to extend their strike till August 20. The strike is in response to their demand for better pay. On Wednesday, clerks held a protest outside the mini-secretariat in Sirsa, led by Sukhwinder Kaur.

Various union leaders, including Krishna Roz and Satveer, of Haryana Group D Vikas Sangharsh Committee, joined the protest. Leaders of various unions such as Gurdeep Saini and Mohan Gupta showed their support. Rajesh Bhardwaj of the Health Department said it was unfortunate that the government had not addressed the clerks' demands. — OC

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).
