The Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited Pensioners Union has blamed officers for the loss to the board. Dev Raj Verma, president of the union, said here today that the union had collected evidence against some of them. The board was generating high revenue but due to a few corrupt people, it landed in financial crunch.

The union demanded the restoration of the electricity allowance and 20-per cent reservation in jobs for the families of the board employees. He said the LTC should be provided to the pensioners and medical allowance be raised to Rs 1,000. — 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).
