Owing to incessant rain, DC, Jalandhar, Dr Himanshu Aggarwal ordered that all private and government, elementary and secondary schools of Jalandhar will remain closed on August 26.

He has stated that the orders had been issued since there had been a forecast of more rain and students and teachers were finding it difficult to reach schools. He has asked District Education Officers (elementary and secondary) to ensure that the orders are followed.

District Magistrate Ashika Jain has also declared holiday on August 26 and 27 in all government and private schools of the district. Due to continuous rain, many roads leading to schools are flooded, creating difficulties in commuting for students and the staff.

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).
