Chandigarh, July 7

The state government issued a notification on Tuesday for including Gadaria among the Scheduled Caste (SC) category.

It has also been declared that while issuing certificates to the community, the caste will be mentioned as Sansi (Gadaria). Sansi was incorporated in the SC category in 1950. Gadaria was added as a synonym of Sansi in the list of denotified tribes on July 5, 2019. A number of representations from the people of Gadaria came, demanding to include them as a sub-caste of Sansi and called for issuance of the SC certificates. Heading an advisory committee on denotified tribes, former media adviser of the CM Rajiv Jain looked into their grievances. The panel had recommended for including them in the SC category. — 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).
