Chandigarh, December 1

The local unit of the Punjab & Chandigarh College Teachers’ Union (PCCTU) of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College, Sector 26, held a protest outside the Sikh Educational Society’s office for alleged vindictive attitude of the college governing body.

Prof Bhupinder Singh, president, PCCTU, claimed that one of the senior teachers, Dr Kanwaljit Kaur Marwaha, Associate Professor, Economics, had been relieved from the duty by overlooking the Central Civil Service rules. The union decided that all teachers would wear black badges daily to express their resentment.

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).
