New Delhi, April 28

Showing a sense of urgency during the prevailing lockdown, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has settled a total of about 14 lakh claims which involve disbursal of about Rs 4,685 crore. This includes 7.40 lakh Covid claims under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) package accounting for disbursal of about Rs 2,368 crore. “The EPFO is committed to serve its members during this difficult situation and its offices are functional to help them during these testing times,” said the Union Labour Ministry.

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).
