Chandigarh, January 3

School Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains has ordered all the deputy commissioners to take immediate action against schools which were violating the orders of the state government regarding extension of winter holiday due to inclement weather conditions.

Bains said to ensure health and safety of students and teachers due to the cold wave, the government had extended holidays in all schools till January 8. However, Bains said his office had received complaints against some private schools which were still open despite the government’s directive.

Bains warned that no one would be allowed to overrule the state government orders and the private schools would lose their affiliation if found defying the orders.

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).
