Phagwara, August 3
Irate government employees, including pensioners belonging to The Punjab Employees and the Pensioners Joint Front, Phagwara, have announced to hold a protest in support of their long-pending demands on August 7.
The protesters will burn effigy of the Punjab Government in the Municipal Corporation office park, Phagwara, on the day of the protest.
Mohinder Singh Bhatti, president of the Punjab Pensioners Welfare Association, along with senior vice-president Seetal Ram Banga, stated that the protest is being organised in response to the state government’s repeated delay in addressing and implementing their legitimate demands. The leaders expressed frustration over the government’s avoidance of meetings to discuss their concerns, leading to this planned demonstration. — OC

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).
