Chandigarh, February 23

The Federation of Private Schools Welfare Association today alleged that the Board of School Education, Haryana, had been withholding roll numbers of over 1,000 students for examinations starting March 3.

Addressing a press conference here, Kulbhushan Sharma, president of the federation, alleged that private schools had been asked to deposit a fine of Rs 5,000 each, which was against rules and regulations. He said the board was penalising students of those private schools whose teachers had not performed examination duty last year.

He said certain teachers abstained from taking up examination duty last year as they had not been paid honorarium for the purpose in the past.

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).
