More than 500 outsourced workers at Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital went on strike, disrupting services at the state's largest hospital. The workers are protesting the dismissal of 132 outsourced employees, including sweepers and ward attendants.

The protesters alleged that the hospital administration has taken away the livelihoods of numerous families by terminating these 132 staff members.

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).
