Sangrur, June 21

NET-qualified and a PhD scholar, 32-year-old Chetan Kumar is running a juice shop in Lehra to earn livelihood.

He has written a letter to CM Capt Amarinder Singh, reminding him of his ‘Ghar Ghar Rozgar’ promise and demanding scrapping of jobs approved for the sons of two Congress MLAs.

“Since I am still jobless, I started a juice shop near a stadium two months ago to earn a living and arrange money to complete my PhD. Earlier I had some hope, but after the Cabinet approved government jobs for the two sons of MLAs, I have lost all hopes. It’s discrimination with the unemployed youth of Punjab. The CM should scrap his approval for these jobs,” Chetan said.

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).
