The Chamba Jan Hit Sangathan has urged the government to make a provision for social security pension to all small traders in the state who have attained the age of 60 years so that they could live a stress-free life.

In a statement issued here today, sangathan convener Shadi Lal Sharma and president Kishore Baroo said a large segment of small traders were poor and remain haunted by the apprehension of downturn in the market. Therefore, pension was imperative, enabling them to meet the expenses of their livelihood in the old age, they added. — OC

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).
