Wipro has sacked 300 employees for moonlighting as the IT services company toughened its stand against staffers taking a second job after work hours.

Wipro chairman Rishad Premji, who has been a vocal critic of moonlighting, said the company had no place for any employee who chose to work directly with rivals while being on Wipro payrolls. Moonlighting is a “complete violation of integrity in its deepest form”, he said at an AIMA event.

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).
