New Delhi, March 31
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked the Centre to consider the demand of some civil services aspirants who could not appear in the UPSC civil services main examination after being infected with Covid-19 and are now seeking an additional chance in light of the recommendation made in a recent parliamentary committee report.

The panel is said to have recommended that in view of the hardship faced by students during the first and second waves of Covid-19, the government should change its mind and sympathetically consider the demand of civil services aspirants and grant an extra attempt with corresponding age relaxation to all candidates.

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).
