West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has urged Home Minister Amit Shah to provide protection to lakhs of migrant workers from West Bengal working in Odisha from violence and social discrimination in the aftermath of Bangladesh crisis.

In a letter to Shah on Sunday, Chowdhury said lakhs of migrant workers of West Bengal were involved in informal sectors and were facing social discrimination and physical violence in the aftermath of Bangladesh political crisis.

“For an example, in Odisha, a large number of migrant workers have been the victims of social discrimination, subjected to various physical violence without any provocation, much to the dismay of the people of West Bengal,” he said in the letter to Shah. — TNS

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).
