Jammu, April 18

Ramban Deputy Commissioner Mussarat Islam has asked the Education Department to initiate an inquiry after a purported video of a government school showed absence of teachers during the school hours.

In a letter to the chief education officer of Ramban, the DC stated the video was uploaded to social media by one Narinder Singh regarding the absence of teachers in Government Primary School, Hunga, falling in Ukhral education zone, on April 17.

The letter also stated that a report be submitted within seven days. “Your probe must also focus on how an outsider was able to enter the premises? It raises concerns about the safety of the schoolchildren. Till further orders, the salary of the Zonal Education Officer, Ukhral, shall be withheld,” the letter of the DC stated.

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).
