Panipat, October 4

The members of the Haryana Power Engineers Associations (HPEA) held protest meetings today at Hissar, Rohtak, Bhiwani, Panipat, Kaithal and other circle headquarters in support of the ongoing agitation of the Uttarakhand power engineers and employees.

The association also protested the Haryana Vidhyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPN) decision to depute its engineers and technical staff to power transmission corporation of Uttarakhand for strike duty. The association has asked its members not to join the illegal strike duty.

HPEA president Ram Pal and general secretary KK Malik said the Uttarakhand power employees and engineers were forced to go on strike after the government backed out from the written commitments given by the Energy Minister in July .— 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).
