Following reports of miscreants harassing female students near the NIFT campus in Sector 23, the police have stepped up security around the institute.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Srishti Gupta informed that police patrolling in the area has been intensified, with special bike riders deployed. A four-member Durga Shakti Rapid Force team, including two women officers, will conduct daily rounds. Women Police Station SHO Rajesh Kumari and Chandimandir SHO Rampal are meeting students, shopkeepers and hostel wardens to reassure them of police support.

Monitoring has also been strengthened in parking areas, cafés, and other crowded points. Students have been advised to report any incident of harassment or inappropriate behaviour at 112.

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).
