Shimla, October 26

The protest of visually impaired members from the National Federation of Blind continued on the second day outside the state secretariat building here on Thursday. Earlier, the blind federation members had staged protest outside the DC office over non-fulfilment of their demands.

Deva Negi, state unit, general secretary of National Federation of Blind, said, “The agitation will continue until genuine demands of the visually impaired members were fulfilled by the state government. We have been raising our demands for a long time but indifferent approach of successive governments has forced us to start indefinite agitation.”

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).
