Faridkot, November 26

A day after deferring the written exam for 800 posts of ward attendants, the Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS) on Thursday extended from November 26 to December 2 the date of reporting/joining for the new MBBS and BDS students at their respective institutes.

The BFUHS was scheduled to conduct the written exam for ward attendants’ posts in the Health Department on November 28. About 1.5 lakh candidates were to appear in this exam at 158 centres in 21 districts in the state. “The university was well-prepared to conduct this test on November 28, but as per the advice of the state government, we have decided to postpone the exam for time being”, said Dr Raj Bahadur, Vice Chancellor, BFUHS. — TNS

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).
