Non-teaching employees today protested outside entry gates of Punjabi University against non-renewal of contract of three workers.

Rajinder Singh Raju, president, B and C class Employees’ Association, said non-teaching faculty members protested against university from 8 am till the evening. “We are against non-renewal of contracts of workers, some of whom have been working here since 1995. The university has relieved two ad-hoc employees and one, who was on work-charge. They were not even given any notices in advance,” said Raju. — TNS

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).
