CDS and Naval Academy-NDA examinations were conducted in Gurugram on Sunday under the aegis of Union Public Service Commission. A total of 32 centers had been formed for this here.

Additional Labour Commissioner Kushal Kataria, the nodal officer, said that the two-hour-long CDS exam was conducted in three shifts at 9.00 am, 12.30pm and 4.00 pm. The two-and-a-half hour NDA and Naval Academy exam was conducted in two phases at 10.00am and 2.00pm. Security personnel were deployed around the examination centres. “For CDS,1,808 appeared in the first phase, 1,796 in the second and 690 appeared at 3.00 pm. For the NDA and Naval Academy Examination Paper-1, 6,961 candidates appeared at 10.00 am and 6,896 students appeared for Paper-2 at 2.00 pm,” Kataria said.

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).
