Kolkata: Amid a standoff between the West Bengal Government and the Raj Bhavan, the convocation of Jadavpur University unfolded in a tense atmosphere on Sunday, with Governor CV Ananda Bose giving it a miss, and Buddhadeb Sau, whom Bose removed as officiating Vice-Chancellor on disciplinary grounds, chairing the ceremony. The government termed Sau’s removal “arbitrary and unilateral decision”.

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).
