Piecemeal workers of the Himachal Road Transport Corporation (HRTC) today went on a 10-day tool down strike, protesting non-induction in the corporation on regular basis, despite completing six to eight years of service.

About 25 piecemeal workers sat at the HRTC workshop here today. They said, “Despite completing six to eight years as piecemeal workers in the HRTC, we have not been regularised. The corporation followed the regularisation policy till 2017, but it has failed to implement it now.” — TNS

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).
