Several safai karamchari unions of the Municipal Corporation held a meeting in the MC office and unanimously decided to go on strike on Friday. Chairing the meeting, general secretary of Safai Mazdoor Federation, Punjab, Sunny Sahota said that the attitude of MC officials regarding the demands of the unions has been disappointing from the beginning.

The union members have been asking that JCB operators working in different departments in the workshop of the Municipal Corporation for 15-20 years should be made permanent soon and the vacant posts of Safai Karamchari, sewerman, gardener, beldar, chowkidar etc in the Municipal Corporation should be filled as soon as possible.

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).
