Sangrur, March 2

To press the Punjab Government to restart the Guardians of Governance (GOG) scheme, ex-servicemen have started an indefinite protest here near the local residence of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

“We were performing our duties with honesty and sincerity. But the AAP government has ended our services without following the mandatory procedure and citing any valid reason. The protest will continue till scheme restarts and all are reinstated,” said Capt Nachatar Singh (retd).

The ex-servicemen have decided to protest round-the-clock in one district of the state every day. On Thursday, GOGs held a protest in Ludhiana.

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).
