Bathinda, June 11

Members of the Joint Platform of Mass Organisations (JPMO) have announced a protest on June 22 over rising inflation and unemployment.

Union leaders said they had started mobilising support in villages and city to this effect. JPMO president Makhan Singh said: “Efforts are on to mobilise support for the rally scheduled in Bathinda on June 22. No efforts are being made by the ruling establishment to address inflation and unemployment.”

Singh added: “Genuine demands of unemployed teachers, contract staff must be fulfilled.” Members of the Dehati Mazdoor Sabha, Jamhuri Kisan Sabha, Forest Workers’ Union, CTU Punjab, Punjab Nirmaan Mazdoor Union, PRTC Workers’ Union and Punjab Subordinate Services Federation attended the meeting. — 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).
