Jalandhar, January 7

The Punjab Education Department has directed District Education Officers (DEOs) of every district to ensure the constitution of an internal complaint committee and grievance redressal mechanism as per the provision of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.

In a corrigendum to the officers, the department has ordered an internal complaint committee as per the PoSH Act. Apart from this, a proper procedure should be prescribed for submitting online complaints on the department website.

The department has asked the DEOs to constitute the committee before January 10 and provide the contact number and email id of every staff member.

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).
