Around 3,000 students studying at engineering department of Punjabi University, Patiala, went on a strike on Monday over declining placements.

The protesting students refused to appear for their mid-term exams schedule for today.

The miffed students of electrical, mechanical, civil and computer engineering said there was no placement cell in the university. They also complained about the dilapidated condition of the department’s building.

They said washrooms were in a poor shape and there was no provision of potable water. Several protesting students said even elevators were out of operation.

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).
