Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini has provided government jobs to the family members of those who lost their lives in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This decision offers great relief to the families affected by these riots as this step is a significant one towards providing justice to the families impacted by the anti-Sikh riots, said district BJP president Rajnish Dhiman.

Dhiman also distributed sweets outside the BJP’s office in celebration of the 121 riot-affected families in Haryana having received government jobs. Dhiman said anti-Sikh riots erupted across the country after the assassination of then-PM Indira Gandhi in 1984. During these, 121 people died in Haryana. The government had applied a ‘balm to their wounds’ by providing government jobs to all 121 of these affected families, based on their consent and qualifications, added Dhiman.

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).
