Chandigarh, March 16

Chandigarh administration issued additional COVID-19 protocol to bars, hotels, clubs and restaurants in Sector 26, 7 and Industrial Area on Tuesday.

A new order from the administration said these commercial establishments must ensure social distancing and masks are strictly followed. Hotels must bring down their seating capacity to 50 per cent, and conduct temperature checks on patrons. These establishments must also seek Chandigarh administration’s permission before allowing live performances. Hookahs will be strictly prohibited.

The development comes as Chandigarh sees a spike in COVID-19 cases.

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).
