Asha workers in Kangra district are yet to receive their wages for the past four months, creating severe financial hardships for the women workers. Expressing frustration over the state government’s perceived inaction, the Asha Workers Union, Kangra, convened a meeting in Dharamsala under the chairmanship of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh state president Madan Rana, who criticised the government for delaying timely payments.

The union leaders, along with women workers, submitted a memorandum to the government through the district administration. The union further announced that if salaries are not disbursed by the end of September, Asha workers will cease work from the first week of October, holding the state government fully responsible for the disruption.

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).
