Jalandhar, August 31

Jalandhar Central MLA Raman Arora today met with members of the Safai Karamchari Union and successfully persuaded them to end the strike. The union had been on a strike demanding the recruitment of permanent safai karamcharis and sewermen. The MLA assured them that their demands would be met soon.

He reportedly told them that he wanted to raise the matter with the CM Bhagwant Mann too, but he could not take up the issue with the CM earlier because due to the latter’s tight schedule. The former MLA of Jalandhar West Constituency also met with MC officials and raised the sewerage problems prevalent in the constituency.

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).
