Hoshiarpur, December 5

The home guards in Punjab would stage a protest on December 6, the foundation day of Punjab Home Guards (PHG), over the non-implementation of the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission report.

Home guards union state president Kamaljit Singh and district president Sarabjit Singh said on December 6, home guards would be donning black badges in protest against the pay commission report being not implemented. They rued the Punjab Government has neither implemented the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission Report for the Punjab home guards, nor are they implementing the pension facility for the home guard jawans.

CM Bhagwant Mann had vowed to address the problems facing the home gaurds prior to the polls, however, they have ignored the issue, Kamaljit and Sarabjit alleged in a joint statement.

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).
