Amritsar, March 29

The Karyana Traders’ Association has warned shopkeepers against overcharging any commodity. The association has also urged residents not to store food items.

Harjipreet Singh Kang, president, Karyana Traders’ Association, said after meeting the Baba Bakala SDM, curfew passes were issued to shopkeepers at Raya, Beas, Baba Bakala, Buttar, Dhardio, Sathiala, Butala and Khilchian.

The shopkeepers are now allowed to open their shops from 2 pm to 6 pm. Residents will have to call up the designated shopkeepers and will get essential items on their doorstep.

“We should contribute society by providing food to the masses at normal prices. It will be the best service to the nation. We also urged residents not to panic in this situation and they must not store food. The country has enough stock,” he said.

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).
