Very Interesting fact is that the Letter is From East Punjab University , Simla. It tells the history of Panjab University immediately after Independence.
Indian Punjab ( East Punjab ) lost its Punjab University Lahore to Pakistan . University offices of East Punjab first shifted to Simla ( Registrar's offices to SOLAN ). The name of the demerged Punjab University was first East Punjab University . Later it became PANJAB University and found its permanent and current home at the newly built Chandigarh .
( The difference in Spelling of PANJAB was kept to differentiate Indian University from the parent University at Lahore which had the spelling PUNJAB University
thanks. I wonder till when did East Panjab University exist?
