New Delhi, September 25

Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami (in pic) today opposed a recent decision of the Jammu and Kashmir administration to abolish 234 posts of forest guard, which were created for engaging registered forestry graduates and postgraduates as “Rehbar-e-Janglat”.

“The move is another jolt to highly educated youth of the Union Territory,” he said, demanding that the decision should be re-considered.

On June 16, 2017, then state government had formulated the “Rehbar-e-Janglat” policy for 534 registered unemployed forestry technocrats. — 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).
