Chandigarh, May 17

After a video of some school heads “snatching” plates during lunch at a recent Chief Minister’s event went viral, the Education Department today summoned seven schools principals to Chandigarh on May 20. They are suspected of shooting the video and sharing it on social media.

The incident took place on May 10, when during lunch, teachers were seen jostling for plates, which was recorded by some teachers and shared on the social media. A communication by the Director General of School Education to DEOs of Fazilka and Gurdaspur stated seven school heads had been accused of tarnishing the department’s image. Disciplinary action would be initiated if they fail to show up. The Democratic Teachers Front Punjab said instead of acting against school heads, the government should punish officials for lax arrangements.

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).
