Chandigarh, June 7

Following a meeting with Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, the Sanjha Mazdoor Morcha, said the government has agreed to most of their demands. The Morcha said, “The government has agreed to follow the 2018 rules for auctioning panchayat land where there are provisions to give the land to the Dalits on long lease at minimum rates.”

CM Mann assured the labour outfits that the Dalits living on panchayat land won’t be displaced and their case would be considered sympathetically.

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).
