Patiala, October 8

Members of the Punjab UT Employees and Pensioners Front today held a protest in the city over their demands for amendments in the Sixth Pay Commission and others. The protesters said they wanted the government to issue a notification for the release of the pay commission for pensioners, regularise contractual staff, implement Punjab pay scales for employees hired after 2020 and fulfil other demands.

Recently, the front held a meeting with Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. Protesters said the meeting did not yield any results.

Front leaders said the state government was ignoring demands of pensioners and employees.

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).
