Disgruntled with over 2,800 recognised private schools in the state that didn’t comply with the directions of the Directorate of Elementary Education regarding implementation of Right to Education (RTE) Act, the department is set to impose penalties ranging from Rs 5,000 to 1 lakh on those schools. The directorate has directed the Education Department officials to send the details of the schools with recommendations for further action.

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).
