Chandigarh, May 24

The Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday announced to release pending instalment of 6 per cent Dearness Allowance (DA) to government employees from July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

Divulging the details a spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said he decision will entail an additional financial liability of Rs 356 crore to the state exchequer.

Reiterating his government’s firm commitment to ensure the welfare of employees, the Chief Minister said that the employees were a critical segment of the state administration and safeguarding their interests was the government’s top priority.

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).
