Panchkula, February 10

Government schools for students of Class 1 to IX reopened in the district to a thin attendance. This was stated by senior officials of the Education Department. However, the department did not share the data, but said not many children turned up at schools on Day 1. As the physical mode is optional, parents were still not confident of sending their wards to schools despite a significant reduction in the number of Covid cases, said a senior official, adding that they expected the numbers to improve in the coming days. The schools for Class X to XII were already operational.

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).
