Fatehgarh Sahib, April 27

The staff of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Engineering College held a protest for the non-payment of salaries for six months.

While talking to The Tribune, the president of the association, Prof Bikramjeet Singh, said they have been protesting for two months. He said they had been submitting a charter of demands addressed to the Trust Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, an umbrella body of the SGPC. Singh said despite reminders to the principal to forward their demands to the management, their concerns have not been addressed. He said, disheartened by the lack of response, the staff has taken to the streets.

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).
