The Chandigarh Administration has allowed government schools to resume classes for students of classes VI to VIII on February 1.

Students however need parents’ authorisation for students to attend in-person classes, according to the central government’s guidelines.

Chandigarh administration allowed schools to hold classes for classes IX to XII from November 2. Schools had until then called students to school only for two hours for guidance sessions.

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).
