Panipat, August 20

Members of the Petroleum Dealers Welfare Association (PDWA), Haryana, are set to stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar on Wednesday to press for some of their long-pending demands.

Petroleum dealers from Haryana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, among other states, would converge on Jantar Mantar on August 23 and hold a four-hour dharna from 1 pm to 4 pm to draw the attention of the Union Government towards their demands, Chaudhary said.

He noted that they are calling for an increase in the commission. “We have been getting a commission of just Rs 3.77 per litre on the sale of petrol and Rs 2.07 per litre on diesel,” he rued.

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).
