Nurpur, April 26

A delegation of the local unit of the Himachal Government College Teachers’ Association (HGCTA) led by its president PL Bhatia met Rajya Sabha MP Sikander Kumar here today. It urged the MP to pursue its longstanding demand for the implementation of the new UGC pay scales with Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and the Additional Chief Secretary, Finance.

HGCTA state senior vice-president Sanjay Jasrotia said the 7th UGC pay scales for universities and college teachers had already been implemented in almost all states except Himachal from 2018. He added that the new pay scales for other government employees in the state were implemented in January this year but the universities and colleges teachers were waiting for their genuine demand to be met since January 2016.

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).
