Chandigarh, May 25

The Punjab Government has made Punjabi mandatory in aptitude tests with 50 per cent marks for government job recruitment examinations.

In a statement issued from the party headquarters, AAP MLA Gurdev Singh Mann said the people of Punjab had been demanding for a long time that Punjabis be given priority in government jobs. Therefore, the CM has made it mandatory to pass the Punjabi exam with more than 50% marks in the recruitment process for around 26,000 government jobs in Group C and D.

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).
