Chandigarh, July 10

The Punjab government on Monday announced holidays in schools till July 13.

Earlier, the government had announced a holiday for Monday in view of the rain situation in the state.

In a tweet, Education Minister Harjot Bains said: “Due to continuous rains it has been decided that all the government, aided and private schools will remain closed till July 13.”

Several areas of Punjab witnessed waterlogging and many roads and residential localities were inundated due to heavy rain since Sunday.

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).
