chandigarh: Haryana is ready to hold Class XII CBSE exams as and when the Centre decides. Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar said the staff on exam duty should be vaccinated before the exams. “We are ready to hold the state board exams for Class XII from June 20. The number of Covid cases are expected to fall by then. Covid protocol should not be a problem. We can similarly hold the CBSE Class XII exams too,” he said.

Dismissing as “impractical” the proposal to ensure vaccination of all students before the exams, he said such a move would delay the exams by at least two months. “Teachers and staff involved in conducting the exams should be vaccinated,” Gujjar stressed.

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).
