Key issues concerning the welfare and rights of Scheduled Castes in Punjab will be reviewed at the 26th meeting of the Punjab State Scheduled Castes Commission on August 28 in Chandigarh. The meeting will be chaired by Jasvir Singh Garhi, Chairman of the Commission.

According to a spokesperson, this meeting is being convened after a five-year gap, with the last session held in 2019. The agenda includes evaluating action taken on pending cases and grievances related to Scheduled Castes across the state.

Letters have been sent to non-official members of the Commission, as well as senior government officials including the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police, and others , inviting them to participate in the deliberations.

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).
