The protesters started a march from the Congress Bhawan in Sector 35. However, the police barricaded the road and stopped them. Water canon was used to disperse the crowd.

Chandigarh Congress president Pardeep Chhabra said the Modi government was putting lives of students at risk by asking them to appear for JEE-NEET.

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).
