Chandigarh, May 17

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) SC wing president Lal Chand Kataruchakk has demanded from Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to provide financial assistance of Rs 10,000 to poor families living in villages and cities and Rs 600 to MGNREGA workers.

He said the Captain government should immediately implement the announced pension of Rs 2,500 for old age, widows, disabled and dependent children as per its election promise. In a memorandum sent to the Chief Minister through the Deputy Commissioner on Monday, Kataruchakk said due to lax health arrangements of the Punjab Government and the inability to get expensive treatment in private hospitals, the common man, especially the poor, was being pushed to the brink of death. — 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).
