Fatehgarh Sahib, February 20

The district unit of the Anganwadi Employees’ Union today staged a protest in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, demanding that children in the 3-6 age group be kept in Anganwadi centres. The union workers raised slogans against the state government and burned copies of a Punjab Government notification which said that children be sent to schools at the pre-nursery level.

Addressing mediapersons, the state president of the union, Harjit Kaur Panjola, lashed out at the Punjab Government for the notification.

She said if the government decides to shift children in the 3-6 years age-group from Anganwadi centres to schools, a large number of anganwadi workers would be rendered unemployed.

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).
