Dhaka, July 23

The Bangladesh government said on Tuesday it would heed a Supreme Court ruling that 93% of state jobs be open to competition, meeting a key demand of students after a week of some of the country’s deadliest protests in years.

“The government has acted in line with the Supreme Court verdict,” Law Minister Anisul Huq told reporters.

Relative calm prevailed for a second straight day in Dhaka. The government announced an easing of the curfew from Wednesday between 10 am and 5 pm to allow people to shop for essentials. — Reuters

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).
