The Punjab Roadways PunBus-PRTC Contract Workers Union Punjab has warned of a three-day strike from May 20 to 22 if their demands are not met by May 19.

The union also plans a dharna in front of the Chief Minister’s residence on May 22. They announced to intensify their struggle, holding the government and senior department officials responsible for any consequences.

The union pointed out the government’s failure to form a committee or implement the policies promised in a meeting on July 1, 2024.

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).
