Chandigarh, July 8

Minister for Social Security, Women and Child Development Dr Baljit Kaur today held a meeting with the Anganwadi Mulajam Union and the Sarva Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Union.

Members of the unions sought Grade III status for anganwadi workers and Grade IV for helpers, inclusion of children aged 0 to 6 years in anganwadi centres, pre-nursery teacher status for anganwadi workers, severance and gratuity for workers and helpers, recruitment of staff, medical leaves and creation of health cards for free treatment under the Ayushman Bharat Bima Yojana.

To resolve the issues, another meeting has been scheduled on August 5.

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).
