The Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL) Pensioners’ Forum has issued a two-week ultimatum to the board management, demanding payment of arrears of revised pay scales and other pensionary benefits. According to AS Gupta, forum’s president, these demands were agreed upon in a meeting held in November 2023, but the management has failed to fulfill them.

Gupta said the pensioners were struggling to get their dues. He said government pensioners have received payment, particularly those above 75 years, while HPSEBL pensioners are still waiting for their payments.

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).
