Sangrur, October 2

Members of the Unemployed Physical Training Instructors (PTI) Teachers’ Union and the police reportedly got into a scuffle, when the former tried to march towards the CM’s residence here today.

“After our long agitation, the government advertised 2,000 posts of PTI in primary schools. But the recruitment process hasn’t commenced till now. AAP leaders had promised before the Assembly polls that recruitment will be conducted, but after the formation of their government, they have forgotten us,” said Amandeep Kamboj, union president. “Our members suffered injuries as the police used force to remove us. We will intensify our agitation,” Kamboj added.

Meanwhile, SHO Prateek Jindal denied having used any force. “We only prevented the protesters from reaching near the CM house.”

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).
