Patiala, December 19

Members of All India BSNL Pensioners’ Welfare Association today held a demonstration here for revision of their pensions.

A member said, “The government revised the pension of the central government employees from January 1, 2017, but the pensions of BSNL/MTNL pensioners have not been revised till date. The BSNL pensioners also come under the same rule.”

Punjab circle secretary of the association GS Bajwa said “Pensioners from all over Patiala including Nabha, Rajpura, Sirhind and Mandi Gobindgarh are holding the protest despite their old and ailing age. There is resentment among pensioners. We will continue our protest till our demands are not met.”

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).
