Chandigarh, September 8

The Panjab University ABVP unit circulated a picture of a termite-infested room at one of the hostels through the social media on Tuesday. However, the name of the hostel or exact location of the room was not revealed.

Campus ABVP president Harish Gujjar said the authorities should take care of the students’ belongings kept in the rooms.

“The university authorities cannot enter rooms. Such issues will obviously emerge as rooms have been locked for almost 6 months. Students are free to collect their belongings after submission of a written request. However, the hostels cannot be opened considering the rise in Covid cases. The picture circulated has no details and no such complaint was received,” said one of the officials, seeking anonymity. — TNS

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).
