Patiala, December 15

Sanitation workers of Punjabi University today dumped garbage on the campus to mark their protest. The workers have been protesting since November 22 over their demand to regularise their services.

A worker said, “The university has failed to regularise our jobs. We had to resort to protest to register our demands. We had stopped dumping garbage upon the CM’s visit as the administration had assured us that they will present our issues to him. But our demands stand unresolved.

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).
