New Delhi, May 20

The All India Students’ Association (AISA) and other student bodies protested outside the Arts Faculty at Delhi University (DU) on Monday.

The protesters targeted the university’s mandatory attendance policy and called for the immediate provision of admit cards for all 1,400 students debarred from Shaheed Bhagat Singh College this semester. They also voiced opposition to the practice of holding parents’ teacher meetings (PTMs) in colleges such as Hansraj, Jesus and Mary, and Aryabhatta colleges.

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).
