Chandigarh, December 22

Government employees have threatened to call a “bandh” on December 28-29, if the state government does not accede to their demands, including release of dearness allowance, removing anomalies in the sixth pay panel, regularisation of services of temporary/ contract employees etc.

Sukhchain Khera, leader of Sanjha Mulazam Manch, said no work would be done in any government office on these two days. In case the government still did not accede to their demands, a meeting of all unions would be held on December 30 at Ludhiana to decide on the future course of action. — 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).
