Shimla, August 20

Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) unit of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) here today staged a protest outside the office of Chief Warden, HPU, and demanded hostels to be allotted to the students.

During the protest, SFI secretary Sunny Seakta said it has been almost a month since the students have been attending the classes, but the university administration has not been able to allot hostels to the students so far.

The SFI also demanded the university administration to abolish the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

“The hostels are not being allotted due to the faulty ERP system,” he added. Through this protest, the SFI has given a two-day ultimatum to the Chief Warden and has warned of launching a mass movement if hostels are not allotted within two days.

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).
