Fatehgarh Sahib, March 16

Hundreds of GNM and BSC Nursing students of Desh Bhagat University in Mandi Gobindgarh today blocked the main road outside the university. The protesters said they were given GNM and BSC degrees on behalf of Sardar Lal Singh College instead of Desh Bhagat University.

Shari, a student, said she took admission at the university after paying hefty fee, but the university admitted 187 students in BSC Nursing and 300 in GNM against the sanctioned 60 seats each and was now giving them degrees on the behalf of Sardar Lal Singh College. —

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).
