With the approval of the district police, residents have set up ‘thikri pehras’ in 122 villages of the district to keep a vigil on the entry of suspected persons to their villages to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The district has around 550 villages.

Senior Superintendent of Police Dhruman H Nimbale said here on Sunday that in these 122 villages, nakas had been installed on the entry points by villagers and the villages cordoned off to check the entry of outsiders. The SSP said outsiders would be asked about their identity and the information would be given to the police in case they do not belong to the village. Nimbale said ‘thikri pehras’ would also be conducted in other villages of the district.

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).
