The protestors marched towards the mini secretariat from Fountain Park in Sector 12 and submitted a memorandum addressed to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Anubhav Mehta. The SDM assured them of a meeting with the CM on December 25.

Mahasangh president Vishwanath Sharma said under the OPS, the central and state governments were giving pensions of Rs 80,000 to Rs 4 lakh per month to ministers, MPs and MLAs, while government employees were getting pension of Rs 1,200 to Rs 3,000 under the new pension scheme.

Notably, Khattar represents the Karnal constituency in the Haryana Legislative Assembly.

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).
