Chandigarh, June 8

More than 50 research scholars gathered in front of the Panjab University Vice-Chancellor’s office for submitting a memorandum on opening libraries and allowing students to stay in hostels.

“How does it matter if scholars are doing their PhD from the PU and the guide belongs to some other institution? There’s no logic on denying hostel accommodations on this basis,” read a statement by the SFS.

“Associate DSW Ashok Kumar and wardens came to listen us. They agreed that decision should be revisited. Authorities agreed to fulfil students’ demands in two days. They also agreed to open ground in the mornings and evenings,” read the statement.

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).
