Rohtak, February 5

The Department of School Education of the Haryana Government has suspended the principal of a government school from where some pre-board exam question papers were stolen recently.

As per orders issued on behalf of Dr Mahavir Singh, Principal Secretary (School Education), to the state government, Surender Singh, Principal, Government Senior Secondary School, Atail village, Rohtak, has been placed under suspension with immediate effect.

Earlier, District Education Officer (DEO) Parmeshwari Hooda had “downplayed” the theft of pre-board question papers, stating that those were “just practice papers”.

On being contacted for her comments on the conduct of pre-board exams of Classes X and XII in the wake of the theft of question papers, the DEO had remarked that it was not a big issue.

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).
