Shimla, November 2

Kuldeep Tanwar, CPM candidate from Kasumpti, said today that how the old pension scheme could be denied to employees if an MLA or MP was eligible for it. He said governments were withdrawing from their social responsibilities.

“After spending his best years in service, an employee is being left to fend for himself when he needs the social security cover the most,” said Tanwar. He urged employee associations to fight their battles, be it the restoration of the OPS or the issues concerning outsourced and contractual employment.

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).
