Chandigarh, August 11

Despite the threat of a third wave of Covid-19, the local Municipal Corporation will organise a one-day Teej programme at Rose Garden, Sector 16, next week.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the Art, Sports and Culture Committee of the MC held here last evening. The meeting was chaired by Shipra Bansal, a nominated councillor.

Shipra said, “This time due to Covid precautions, no cultural programme will be organised and the final date will be decided on August 14 with the consent of all members of the committee after convening a meeting at the MC office.”

During the meeting, it was decided that a simple function will be organised at the Rose Club, Sector 16, to mark the Teej celebrations and only a ceremonial swing will be installed at the venue.

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).
