Chandigarh, May 6

Even after asking its wardens to motivate hostellers to move to their respective homes amid surge in Covid cases, Panjab University has not issued any official order in this regard yet.

Sources said a meeting was scheduled to find out a solution, but no update was provided at the end of the day.

“The Panjab University authorities are in a fix. Everyone is concerned about resources and rise in number of cases,” said a PU official.

On Wednesday, wardens had raised concern over students staying in hostels and the authorities told them to “motivate” students to leave the campus and move to their respective homes at the right time.

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).
