The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration said today that 82 per cent of the students had registered for the winter semester. The statement comes amid a boycott call for registration given by the students’ union of the university.

Out of 8,500 students, 82 per cent had cleared their hostel dues for the winter semester registration as on Monday, VC M Jagadesh Kumar said. “We expect that the remaining students will complete their registration since the process is still open with a late fee. The campus is peaceful and active in pursuing academic activities,” he said. — PTI

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).
