Rohtak, December 24

A day after launching a fast-unto-death, the MBBS students protesting against the Haryana government’s bond policy ended their 54-day-long agitation on Saturday.

The decision to end the agitation was taken in the wake of the issuance of a revised notification regarding the bond policy by the state government and agreement on their other demands.

The Resident Doctors Association (RDA) at PGIMS expressed satisfaction on the amicable settlement of the matter.

The protesting students called off the stir in the presence of Pt Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHS) Vice-Chancellor Anita Saxena, Registrar H.K. Aggarwal, Rohtak PGIMS Director S.S. Lohchab, Dean K.S. Laller and Public Relations Officer Varun Arora.

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).
