Patiala, September 12

Students of the Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, held a protest on the campus demanding an increase in hostel timings, late this evening. The students said the university had reduced the evening time to 8 pm during Covid-19, which they wanted to be extended.

They said the protest started late in the evening wherein several students came out of their hostels and gathered in the open.

The students said the university authorities had assured them of a meeting tomorrow morning, following which the protest was lifted.

Gurpreet Singh Bhinder, SHO, Civil Lines, said the police received information about the protest. “We will inquire into the matter,” he said. — 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).
