Chandigarh, June 2

Controversial Panjab University Vice-Chancellor was given a three-year extension, officials from the university on Wednesday— a development that comes as a surprise given frequent his run-ins with Panjab University Teachers Association as well as former members of the university’s senate and syndicate.

A communication making the announcement was issued on Wednesday evening by the office of the university’s Chancellor, India’s Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu

His tenure was to end on July 23.

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).
