The Government Teachers Union (GTU) announced on Wednesday that the Sanjha Adhyapak Morcha would organise a protest in Mohali on June 1 to demand the prompt resolution of teachers’ issues, particularly the long-pending promotions.

The union highlighted that promotions from the primary to master cadre, as well as other groups, had been pending for the past five years.

Teachers emphasised that the issue of promotions had been raised with the Education Minister in past several panel meetings, and assurances had been given

that a solution would be provided within a month. However, no progress had been made on the matter so far.

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).
