The honorarium of panchayat chowkidars has been increased by Rs 900 per month during the current financial year, said Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur while addressing the Abhaar Karyakaram organised by Himachal Pradesh State Panchayat Chowkidar Association here today.

He said the government had also hiked the minimum wages of unskilled daily wagers from Rs 210 to Rs 350, besides increasing the honorarium of para workers. Government employees and pensioners, who play an important role in the implementation of government schemes, had been given the benefit of the revised pay scales, 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).
