Ahead of Diwali, the Municipal Corporation (MC) of Ludhiana has released the salary of its employees for October in advance on Wednesday.

Civic body officials stated that usually salaries are released after the completion of the month, but due to Diwali celebrations, the state government had decided to release the salaries of its employees on October 30.

Keeping this in mind, MC Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal had issued strict instructions to the staff concerned that the monthly salary of the civic body employees – totalling around Rs 35 crore – be credited into the accounts of the employees on October 30.

Members of the MC employees union, the Municipal Employees Sangharsh Committee, led by Chairman Ashwani Sahota lauded the state government and MC Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal for taking crediting salaries ahead of Diwali.

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).
