Hoshiarpur, September 30

Mount Carmel School, Kakkon, faced a lot of flak from Sikh groups after they allegedly made some students take off kadas before appearing for an examination yesterday. Today, representatives of various Sikh groups held talks with the school management. Police had to visit the school.

The school management eventually issued a written apology. Sikh leaders shared that, since the school administration has apologised, they have decided to let the matter slide this time.

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).
