Shimla, March 4

The state government has decided to bring peacemeal workers of the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) serving since 2011 on contract, said Transport Minister Bikram Singh here today.

He said there were 823 peacemeal workers, including ITI, non-ITI and those working in other sectors. As many as 631 peacemeal workers had been brought on contract on priority, as per the policy, while the remaining would be given the benefit, according to their skills. The minister said the government had also decided to provide employment to 49 persons in the Transport Department on compassionate grounds. —

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).
