Patiala, December 1

The protest of the Punjab State Ministerial Services Union (PSMSU) entered its 25th day. Besides raising black flags against finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema, the union members staged a protest outside the office of Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh and raised slogans against the state government for misleading the public with false promises.

Vice-president of the association Gurmail Singh Toor said before coming to power, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema had promised to reinstate the old pension scheme within a month of forming the government, but this promise has not been fulfilled yet.

A notification was issued before Diwali that stated the revival of the old pension, but there has been no progress about it since then.

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).
