Patiala, June 17

Guest faculty at Punjabi University continued their protest on the third day today, demanding salary for full year.

The guest faculty (lecture based) said they were being exploited for a long time. “We render our services for 12 months at our centres but are paid for 7 to 8 months. The university recently issued a circular stating that guest faculty would work for 11 months and 25 days in a year. We will continue our protest till the issue of our salary is not resolved,” they said. “We will intensify the protest if our demands are not met. Student bodies, including AISF, PSU, PSU (Lalkar), SFI, DSO and PRSU have assured their support,” they said.

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).
