Patiala, January 22

Student leaders of Punjabi University said today that they would hold protests on the campus over pending probe reports into ‘alleged scams’.

Harvinder Singh Sandhu, former president of the Student Youth Federation of India, said the university administration had failed to act in respect to the previous inquiry reports. He said: “Valuable heritage furniture designed by architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret, including tables, chairs, benches and almirahs, was sold to the Department of Cultural Affairs, Archives, Archaeology and Museums in June 2014 for a mere Rs70,000. The university is sitting on reports of various other ‘scams’ too”. — TNS

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).
