Fatehgarh Sahib, May 1

Various trade unions, workers’ unions, the municipal union and Paledar Union took out rallies to mark the May Day.

The Paledar Union took out a rally from the Food Corporation of India godown at Sirhind and marched through Main Bazaar.

Addressing the rally, leaders of various trade unions said labourers were being exploited and were suffering due to inflation, but the Centre and the state governments were not doing anything for their welfare. They said even today, crores of labourers across the country were getting paid below the minimum salary. They said the workers of all departments were struggling to get their dues.

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).
