Visva Bharati University Vice Chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagging alleged threats from a TMC leader and requested security.

“This is to bring to your notice that TMC district president Anubrata Mondal threatened me with dire consequences after the poll and said he will teach me a lesson which I shall never forget in my life. This is an earnest request to you to adopt steps to avoid untoward incidents in the campus and ensure my physical wellbeing along with my family members”, Chakrabarty has alleged in his letter to the PM.

Founded by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, Visva Bharati is a central university located in Santiniketan, West Bengal.

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).
