On November 14, when Children’s Day will be celebrated, the workers will seek an explanation from Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in this regard and on November 18, they will gherao Cabinet Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu on the issue.

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).
