Faridabad, June 15

Neeraj Sharma, Congress MLA from the NIT Assembly here, launched a Ramayana recitation programme outside the gate of a construction equipment manufacturing company in protest against retrenchment of 104 employees recently. He wrote to the Prime Minister about it.

Sharma, who recited a chapter of the holy book of Ramayana in a tented space outside the factory located at the National Highway-19 (Mathura Road) for about two and a half hours, said the recitation process would go on till the affected persons got relief and the management and the authorities concerned realised the employees’ concerns amid the Covid crisis.

He also flayed the firm’s process to sack 400 more employees, besides condemning the “failure” of the government to prevent such a move. — TNS

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).
