New Delhi, February 23

A large number of primary school teachers from Punjab and Himachal Pradesh on Sunday joined the ongoing dharna by teachers from across the country for redressal of their grievances.

Their counterparts from Rajasthan also joined them in the week-long protest that started last Friday.

The protest is being organised under the aegis of All India Primary Teachers’ Federation (AIPTF).

The teachers are unhappy at the lingering anomalies of the 6th Pay Commission which have hindered implementation of the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations.

They are also opposed to, among others, some provisions of the Centre’s draft National Education Policy-2019. — 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).
