Chandigarh, April 6

A protest was organised by the Panjab University’s student political group, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), outside the DSW’s office. They were demanding a solution to hostel-related problems.

The group demanded that the seats in all hostels should be increased. “The system of providing hostels on a guest basis should be started again. Modern kitchens should be set up in all hostels. The shops at the Student Centre are charging more than the approved rates,” said one of the ABVP’s spokespersons.

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).
