Sonepat, April 6

Ashoka University students, who have been protesting outside the campus in support of their demands, have temporarily suspended their protest following an assurance that their demands would be accepted.

A written confirmation was sent by the Pro-VC to the university body on the outcome of the negotiations.

The Social Justice Forum (SJF), which led the protest since March 20, said the email from the university had confirmed that an “Equal Opportunities Cell” (EOC) would be established by the end of the coming week. The EOC will conduct an annual socioeconomic survey,including questions regarding constitutional caste categories. The administration has also committed to a revision in the late fee payment policy.

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).
