Phagwara, May 3

The workers of JCT Mills Ltd, Phagwara, led by their leader Ashok Kumar today staged a dharna at the mill’s rest-house premises demanding immediate release of their pending salary, overtime and bonus.

The protesters were raising slogans against the management of JCT Mills, Phagwara.

Meanwhile, Sameer Thapar, owner of the mill, called four representatives of the protesters to his office and assured them that their demands would be fulfilled soon. The dharna was lifted after an assurance by the mill owner this afternoon.

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).
