Computer teachers today burnt brooms “Lohri of false promises” outside the residence of AAP state president and Cabinet minister Aman Arora in Sunam.

The teachers have been observing relay fast since September 1, 2024, outside the Sangrur District Administrative Complex to compel the state government to fulfil their demands.

Nardeep Sharma of the Computer Adhyapak Union said, “Despite holding meetings several times with the ministers and MLAs, we just got false promises.”

Their demands include shifting of computer teachers from the Punjab Information and Communication Technology Education Society to the Education Department, implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission and revision of dearness allowance (DA) from 2021.

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).
