Tension prevailed in village Apra near Goraya today when a student was meted out corporal punishment.

Parents and villagers rushed to the school and demonstrated against the school management.The student, Pankaj Jakhu, told the media before the villagers and school staff that he was slapped and beaten up mercilessly by the school MD in the presence of other students. His only fault was that he could not give an answer. Later, after the intervention of prominent persons, Rana expressed his regret over the incident.

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).
