Chandigarh, September 20

Over 300 Panjab University faculty members, employees and other staff participated in a “silent march” organised to oppose the recent heckling of a top university official and alleged provocative speeches on the campus.

“Through this march, stakeholders expressed their desire for a peaceful and non-violent campus. This march aims to instil confidence among various stakeholders. Participants in the march, through their silence, urged all the stakeholders to adopt non-violent means, use decent language in public discourse, avoid encouraging vested interests and refrain from spreading hatred,” said the organisers. — 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).
