Chandigarh, July 21

After failing to get their pending salaries since December 2019, on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, employees of Baba Hira Singh Bhattal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lehragaga, have moved the court.

Recently, the high court had ordered disposal of the property of the institute to clear dues of the employees reportedly to the tune of Rs 20 crore.

On the basis of application moved by the petitioner Sunatya Kumar, contempt notices have been issued to Principal Secretary, Technical Education Additional Director, Department of Technical Education; Chairman of Board of Governors of Baba Hira Singh Bhattal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lehragaga; and Technical Education Minister Harjot Bains.

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).
