Jalandhar, August 11

Holding a gate rally in front of the Punjab Roadways depot here on Friday, the PUNBUS/PRTC Contractual Employees’ Union announced that they would not let government buses ply for three days from August 14 to 16.

Led by state vice-president Daljit S Jallowal, the union members announced that they would show black flags to Punjab Chief Minister and Transport Minister during the Independence Day functions.

“We would ask them why we are not being regularised and discriminated,” the members said. They said meetings were held with the minister concerned during which members were assured of regularisation ahead of the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll but to no avail.

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).
