Patiala, March 19

Class-IV employees of the Public Works Department (PWD) today held a protest outside the residence of PWD Minister Vijay Inder Singla over restructuring and declaration of various posts as dying cadre.

The employees said their associations were not taken in loop before taking the decisions. They said they earlier held a hunger strike outside the office of Chief Engineer (headquarters) at the Mini-Secretariat and a protest near the DPDO office in the city.

Darshan Singh Lubhana, state president of the Class-IV Government Employees’ Union, said: “Our concerns are also not heard when we contact respective officials. The government has taken one-sided decisions and did not care about employees demands.”

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).
