Shimla, June 9

All schools, colleges and universities in Himachal will remain closed till June 30 but non-teaching activities will continue. The state government had earlier extended holidays in schools up to June 15 and in colleges and universities up to June 10. Now, the holidays were extended till June 30, said Education Minister Suresh Bhardwaj.

He said economic and other activities had resumed but the decision on educational institutions would be taken in July, following guidelines of the MHA.

Earlier, the state government had proposed holding examinations of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in June and starting admissions from July but now the schedule would be changed and the chances of starting the academic session in August was bleak. — 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).
