Yoginder Pal Kapoor, president of the Mandi District INTUC unit, has questioned the hiring practices of the BBMB management and its subsidiary Shivalik Company at Salapad. He stated that the companies were not adhering to the State Government’s recruitment rules that favour hiring of local workers.

Kapoor alleged that despite regulations providing jobs to locals in place, the companies continued to hire workers from outside.

He also criticised the BBMB management for disregarding the court orders. Kapoor urged the government to impose restrictions on companies that failed to comply with the hiring norms.

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).
