Mandi, September 2

The HP Jal Rakshak Sangh today threatened to stage a protest across the state if the government didn’t consider their demand by September 5. The union is demanding that they should get government job contract once they complete eight years of part time service in the Jal Shakti Vibhag. Currently, they get the contract after completing 12 years of part time service.

The union’s president, Javalu Ram, said, “On August 10, Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and Jal Shakti Minister Mahender Singh Thakur had assured us to consider the demand. But so far no concrete action has been taken by the government.”

He added that the union members were expecting that the issue would be taken during the Cabinet meeting that had been scheduled on September 5. “If our demand is not considered, then we will hold protest across the state,” he added.

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).
