Chandigarh, April 11

In view of the rising Covid cases, the Punjab Unaided Colleges’ Association (PUCA) today requested Vice Chancellor, IKGPTU, Jalandhar, Dr Ajay K Sharma to conduct the pending examinations through the online mode.

The association said in view of the current situation, the university had postponed all pending examinations of March till further orders.

“We are getting many applications from students from Punjab as well as other states to conduct the examinations in the online mode. Taking to social media, several students from various states are expressing their concerns, requesting the colleges to conduct exams online in order to safeguard the larger interest of students,” the association said.

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).
