Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) Vice-Chancellor Jaspal Singh Sandhu has got extension for another three months. Acting on the recommendation of the government, Governor Gulab Chand Kataria gave the assent in that regard.

Appointed VC in August 2017, when Capt Amarinder Singh was the Chief Minister, Sandhu’s tenure is set to stretch over seven years. Before joining as VC, Sandhu remained the Secretary of the University Grants Commission (UGC) and had been professor and Head of the Department of Sports Medicine and Physiotherapy at the GNDU.

A selection committee appointed by the AAP government has reportedly commenced screening of applicants for the post. The committee has received over 40 applications.

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).
