Faridkot, December 5

The School Education Department has warned government schoolteachers against participating in any type of political activity. According to a circular issued by the Department to district education officers (DEOs) across the state, the teachers have been directed to stay away from political activities.

The participation of the teachers in political activities is not only a violation of the Government Employee (Conduct) Rules but is also adversely affecting the students due to the teachers’ absenteeism from their duty when they go for political activities.

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).
