Patiala, April 12

The Democratic Teachers’ Front (DTF) today condemned the March 27 gangrape and demanded strict action against those responsible for this.

State chief Vikram Dev Singh and Nabha block president Ramsharan Alohara blamed the successive state governments for neglecting higher education and prioritising privatisation agendas, leading to a decline in educational standards and continuous exclusion of poor and middle-class students.

The failure to maintain discipline and academic atmosphere in colleges has resulted in an increase in non-educational and unwanted activities among students, ultimately leading to such incidents.

The teacher front has demanded that accountability for this incident should be fixed.

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).
