Chandigarh, June 16

At a time when the world is reeling under Covid pandemic, China is holding a graduation ceremony for its 11,000 students in Wuhan, where the coronavirus pandemic is believed to have begun.

A video of Central China Normal University’s students attending the graduation ceremony has gone viral.

The video shows a large stadium packed with students and their family members, all sitting without following social-distancing and only a few wearing masks.

The event is said to have taken place on June 13.

According to local news outlet Hubei News, the ceremony was organised at the stadium within the university campus and was attended by more than 11,000 students.

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).
