Amritsar, June 29

The city police in collaboration with the State Bank of India (SBI) installed 100 plastic and iron-made beautiful dividers on the Heritage road, leading to the Golden Temple.

Parminder Singh, ADCP (Traffic) said the SBI funded the project, which would realise two objectives. Apart from enhancing the beauty of the heritage street, it will facilitate maintenance of social distancing for the devotees visiting the Sikh shrine. Now, devotees, e-rickshaws and other vehicular traffic will be in separate lanes. So there will be no bumping into one another.

He said the same system would be introduced on the other side of the heritage lane too.

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).
