Shimla, February 23

The state government has called the protesting doctors for a meeting on Thursday. With this initiative from the government, the two-week long protest from the doctors could come to an end.

The doctors have been observing two-hour pen down strike for two weeks now across all medical facilities in the state over their demands, which include implementation of Punjab pay scale in totality and payment of 25 per cent non practicing allowance.

In case the meeting does not yield the desired results, the doctors can scale up their pen down strike into a full-fledged strike, beginning with a mass casual leave on February 26.

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).
