Ropar, January 8

Rajeev Ahuja, a professor at Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Sweden, will be the new Director of the Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar. He will take the charge from incumbent Prof Sarit K Das who took over in April 2015 for five years.

Though the term of Professor Das had to be expired last year and the government had even invited the applications in this regard as early as in January 2020, the selection process was delayed due to Covid 19 and he was asked to stay till further orders. — 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).
