Faridkot, March 31

Fearing closure of BSc (agriculture) course, students of Government Brijindra College in Faridkot organised a protest rally. The students have been holding a sit-in at the gate of the college for the past week.

The students alleged there was no admission in the BSc course last year on the pretext that the college was not fulfilling conditions under the Punjab State Council for Agricultural Education Act.

The authorities claimed the admissions were not done last year due to the Covid pandemic, but students claimed the college was facing acute shortage of staff. — 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).
