Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring

PPCC chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Thursday accused the AAP government of violating the reservation rules for other backward classes (OBC) in government jobs.

Addressing a press conference, he said while advertising 58 posts of law officers, the government mentioned 12 per cent reservation for SC candidate, but there was no such mention for the OBC category. He said this was in violation of the Punjab Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes (Reservation in Services) Act, 2006, that provided for reservation of 25 per cent seats for SC and 12 per cent for OBC candidates in government jobs.

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).
