Shimla, October 25

Visually impaired members of the National Federation of Blind staged a protest outside DC office in the city against non-fulfilment of their ‘long-standing’ demands, including regular jobs in Shimla on Wednesday. The protesting members of union raised slogans against the government.

The union representatives also submitted their demand charter to Chief Secretary, Secretary of Social Justice and Women Empowerment, DC and SP of Shimla, among other officials.

Deva Negi, state unit, general secretary of National Federation of Blind said, “Instead of advertising posts of the backlog in a scattered manner, the government should advertise all the posts in one go through a particular advertisement covering all the vacant posts and Bharti Mela should be conducted to appoint all the candidates.”

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).
