Chandigarh, June 21

The city Congress today held a protest to express its ‘pain and anguish’ over allegations of irregularities, paper leaks and awarding of inflated marks and grace marks in the NEET-UG 2024 examination held in Gujarat, Bihar and Haryana.

Congress activists carrying placards condemning the ‘corrupt and anti-Youth BJP and NDA government’ gathered at the Chandigarh Congress Bhawan this morning and raised slogans to protest against alleged corruption in competitive exams conducted in the BJP-ruled states.

The protesters lamented, “After the Centre, the BJP-ruled states have also vitiated the sanctity of hitherto clean competitive examinations, which are now plagued by technical glitches, malpractices and use of unfair means in test centres.”

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).
