Day after Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) contract workers went on a strike against the dismissal of 132 outsourced employees; the hospital administration today has reinstated all workers. As a result, the workers have decided to end their strike and to resume their services as normal.

The outsourced employees, including cleaners, ward attendants, security personnel, ECG staff, mess workers, laundry employees, data entry operators, and operation theater assistants went on strike in protest against the hospital administration after it laid off 132 outsource employees on December 31. As a result, patients visiting had to face lots of inconveniences as the healthcare services.

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).
