Patiala, April 5

Reacting to the Education Department orders of disciplinary action against teachers for protesting outside the residence of Education Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer in Barnala, rural government doctors have demanded revocation of the “undemocratic” directive.

Dr Aslam Parvez, state president, Rural Medical Services Association, has demanded intervention of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in the matter.

Expressing solidarity with the protesting teachers, he said right to protest by the unions couldn’t be curtailed by the government, which seemed to be “bureaucracy-centric than people-centric”. —

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).
