Fatehgarh Sahib, July 1

Employees working on a contract basis under the banner of Contract Employees Sangharsh Morcha today staged a protest in front of the DC office against the failure of the state government to regularise their services. They raised slogans against the state government and burnt copies of the Budget.

Union leaders Balwinder Shah and Gurwinder Singh Panjoli said the state government had been giving time for meetings with their leaders but those meetings had been cancelled thrice. The leaders alleged that the present government had also adopted the policy of previous governments and making false promises.

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).
