Sangrur, April 26

Demanding an unemployment allowance, the members of B.Ed and TET pass union on Sunday protested across Punjab in front of their houses and raised slogans against the state government.

“Today we have pasted special handwritten or computer print out papers at our doors to remind the government of our plight. We protested at Sangrur from September 2019 to April 2020 for regular jobs. But Punjab government is not serious about giving us jobs,” said Sukhwinder Singh, President of the union.

Another member, who works as a labourer, said that he is not able to find work during the lockdown.

“If the government can not give us jobs, it should give us unemployment allowance immediately,” said Randeep Sangatpura, press secretary of the union.

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).
