Chandigarh, January 10

Haryana government has decided to keep all schools and colleges in the state closed till January 26—a development as Covid-19 cases rise exponentially fuelled by the highly transmissible Omicron variant.

Education Minister Kanwar Pal said online classes will continue, allowing schools and colleges to focus on helping students prepare for upcoming examinations.

Schools and colleges were closed for their winter break from January 3 to 12, 2022.

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).
