Nurpur, July 24

The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh celebrated its 66th foundation day at Fatehpur last evening. The event was presided over by Madan Rana, state vice-president of the sangh.

Rana said they would launch a week-long drive to highlight long-standing demands of workers by submitting memorandums to the Centre through SDMs and DCs across the state from July 24 to 30.

They would also hold a protest against alleged anti-workers policies of the government. Rana said private companies had increased the working hours of workers from 8 to 12 hours.

The sangh is also seeking the status of government employee for anganwari and Asha workers. The sangh said if the government was unable to regularise their services, then these workers should be given a monthly salary of Rs 18,000.

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).
