Chandigarh: SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Friday asked Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to talk to “safai” workers directly to end their ongoing strike, else the state could face several other diseases at a time when it was battling Covid-19. He said despite protests at several places across the state for a fortnight, the government was adopting a callous attitude towards their grievances. Lauding their role during the pandemic, he said: “The government should not adopt such an insensitive attitude towards these frontline workers.” 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).
