Ludhiana, July 10

Punjab Class IV Government Employees Union today protested against the SCD Government college authorities and sat on a dharna at the main gate. Employees rued that their salaries were ‘deliberately’ being released late by the authorities and it was becoming increasingly difficult for them to run their households.

“The college authorities know that we come from humble backgrounds and need wages on time. When they provide for their own salaries on time, why are they delaying ours? This comes across as a high-handed oppressive attitude towards the workers,” an employee alleged.

The other demands of employees include their cases be sent for regularisation as per seniority, those who are eligible should be recruited as lab assistants and provision of GPF statements.

The protesting employees raised slogans against the college authorities.

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).
