Jalandhar, October 24

Unemployed teachers who have been protesting outside ex-Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla’s residence in Sangrur for the past nine months have now shifted to Cabinet Minister Pargat Singh’s house here.

After protesting outside Singla’s residence in Sangrur for nine months, members of various unions under the Berozgar Sanjha Morcha ended the stir on September 30 this year after Pargat succeeded the former.

Despite promises made by the Capt Amarinder Singh government of “ghar ghar naukri” and job allotment cards during the 2017 poll, teachers say they have been left high and dry even after four years. Unable to meet Pargat outside his residence on Saturday, members of the TET Pass Unemployed BEd Teachers Union declared that they would hold an indefinite dharna there from October 28. — 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).
