Chandigarh, January 6

In view of intense cold wave conditions prevailing in the region, the Punjab Government on Friday extended winter holidays in all the government, private and aided schools till January 14 for Classes 1 to 7.

In a tweet, School Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains said holidays are being extended for Classes 1 to 7 till January 14. However, students of Classes 8 to 12 will have to attend schools from 10 am to 3 pm, he added.

Teaching staff has been asked to be present in schools.

Earlier, the state government had extended winter vacations in all schools till January 8.

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).
