The All-India State Government Employees’ Federation has threatened to launch a nationwide stir from the next month if the government doesn’t change its stand on setting up the eighth pay commission, restoration of old pension scheme (OPS) and continuation with the policy of contractual employment and privatisation.

Federation president Subhash Lamba said the matter would be discussed at a meeting in Kanpur on December 28. He said the Centre’s decision denial to restore the old pension scheme had come as a major setback to lakhs of government employees.

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).
