The Directorate of School Education has suspended a JBT teacher, posted at government primary School, Khorsu, in the Rohru sub-division of Shimla district for coming to school in an inebriated condition. During the suspension, the teacher, Hittu Machhan, will serve at Block Elementary Education, Kupvi.

The teacher was suspended after SDM Rohru visited the school following complaints from local people about the teacher and found him in an intoxicated condition in the school.

The teacher was brought to Civil hospital, Rohru, for medical check-up and his blood sample was sent to forensic lab in Junga. The SDM also found that several students had shifted to other schools due to the teacher.

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).
