Shimla, July 3

Tightening the noose around four private universities facing probe for alleged irregularities, the Himachal Pradesh Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Commission (HPPEIRC) has held the approval of courses run by these universities for the academic session 2020-21 in “abeyance” till further orders.

The orders passed by the regulator imply that the universities, namely Manav Bharti University, Indus International University, Arni University and AP Goyal Shimla University, would not be permitted to hold admissions for 2020-21 session. An FIR was registered against Manav Bharti University, Solan, over “fake” degrees. Another FIR was registered against Indus International University for forgery, while Arni University is in the dock over staff salaries. — TNS

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).
