A high-level delegation of the Government Aided Schools Progressive Front, Punjab, led by state president Upjit Singh Brar, called on Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema. It discussed with him various demands of the 476 government aided and recognised schools and teachers working in these schools. The delegation urged the Finance Minister to implement the Sixth Pay Commission for regular and retired employees of the 476 government aided and recognised schools in Punjab.

Addressing the media, Gurdish Singh, press secretary of the front, said the demands of aided schools were discussed with the Finance Minister. He said the minister was urged to give all facilities to students studying in government aided schools as per government school students.

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).
