The National Human Rights Commission on Wednesday called upon the Centre and states to protect the rights of persons engaged in manual scavenging or hazardous cleaning.

It issued an advisory to the Centre and the state governments to fix responsibility and accountability of local authority and contractor/employer, jointly and severally in case of any death that occur due to manual scavenging. The advisory has been addressed to secretaries of Union Ministries concerned, chief secretaries of state governments and administrators of UTs. — TNS

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).
