Jalandhar, December 20

There have been last-minute changes to the much-awaited 109th edition of the Indian Science Congress, which was scheduled to be hosted by Lovely Professional University (LPU) next month.

There have been reports that the varsity has declined to host the event due to a tussle between the Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The LPU has reportedly cited some ‘unforeseen challenges’ as the reason for the cancellation, as detailed in an email sent by its registrar Monica Gulati to ISCA general president Arvind Saxena.

After previously hosting the event in 2019, the LPU reportedly volunteered to host the 2024 event after its original host – the University of Lucknow – had backed out a few months ago. Despite several attempts, the LPU authorities could not be contacted.

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).
