Vocational teachers resorted to boot polishing and cleaning vehicles during their protest in Shimla on Wednesday. The protesting teachers have been protesting in Shimla over the past couple of days demanding the removal of companies that act as a bridge between the teachers and the Education department. “We have resorted to shoe polishing and car cleaning to attract the attention of the government. We are protesting for the last three days but the government has not even called us for a dialogue,” said Ashwani, president of the Vocational Teachers Association.

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).
