Shimla, April 30

The State Disability Commissioner has asked the Principal Secretary to inquire into the charge of discrimination against visually impaired students in examinations by the Principal of Government College, Kullu, and submit the action taken report within 15 days. Ajai Srivastava, member of the State Advisory Board on Disability, and chairman of the Umang Foundation had made a complaint alleging that the Principal had not prepared a pool of scribes to write the paper of visually impaired candidates.

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).
