Shimla, August 12

The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) and the Student Federation of India (SFI) staged a protest in front of Vidhan Sabha against rising unemployment, corruption in appointments, hike in Parent Teachers Fellowship fund, etc. The DYFI and SFI members gathered at Panchayat Bhavan and took out a protest rally to Vidhan Sabha.

Raising concern over the rising unemployment, the protesters claimed that Himachal had the highest unemployment rate among the educated youth – 20.3 per cent against the national 7.3 per cent.

They said unemployment had shot through the roof ever since the BJP had come to power. “And whatever the government made appointments, many were marred by paper leaks and many are stuck in the court of law,” the protesters said.

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).
