Chamba, April 7

The HP Pensioners’ Welfare Association (HPPWA) has flayed the state government for not releasing sufficient funds under the medical head of pensioners.

In a press note issued here today, chief spokesperson of the association PC Oberoi said due to non-release of sufficient funds, medical bills, worth lakhs of rupees, of pensioners across the state had been lying piled up.

He regretted that the ailing pensioners were facing financial hardship while the bed-ridden pensioners were worst affected.

Oberoi disclosed that despite repeated requests, the government had not made the funds available to the heads of offices in the state.—

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).
