The Joint Action Committee of Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Employees, Engineers and Pensioners has condemned the recent office order issued by the management, which imposes a complete ban on peaceful protests in front of the board’s premises. The committee has termed this order as unconstitutional.

The committee said the order violated the fundamental rights of employees, including the right to peaceful assembly and protest, as guaranteed under Article 19(1) of the Constitution. The panel emphasised that peaceful protests are a legitimate and recognised form of expression of dissent and collective concerns in a democratic setup.

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).
