Panjab University fellows have raised concerns about delay in announcing the schedule of Senate elections.

“These elections should have been announced in January for the term commencing November 2024, but the schedule is awaited,” said Dr Jagwant Singh, a fellow.

“The Government of India and the BJP were trying to remove the elected Senate… Now, they wanted to replace it with a governing body that was nominated or predominantly nominated as they wanted to push their agenda for affiliation of colleges of Haryana’s Panchkula, Kalka and Ambala districts to Panjab University that is not permitted at present,” stated a joint statement issued by Prabhjit Singh, Balbir Chand Joshan, Ravinder Billa, Dr IPS Sidhu and KK Sharma.

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).
