Karnal, April 1

Already facing staff shortage, Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College (KCGMC) has sacked around 100 contractual staff nurses, councillors and other employees.

These employees were recruited during the pandemic to overcome staff shortage.

Infuriated over the decision, the sacked employees protested outside the office of the director of the college and alleged that they were only given a day’s notice before they were let go.

“I was appointed during the first wave. We were called back to duty before the end of the quarantine period, but we never objected,” she added. —

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).
