Chandigarh, December 20

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced that due to dense fog in the morning, all the government and private schools in the state will open at 10am.

In a Twitter post on Tuesday, the CM stated, “Due to the dense fog falling in the state, in view of the health and safety of school students and teachers, from tomorrow 21-12-2022 to 21-01-2023, the opening time of all government, aided, recognized and private schools will be at 10 am. The leave will be as per the earlier time.”

Dense fog on Tuesday morning reduced visibility in most parts of Punjab, affecting traffic movement.

Reduced visibility on roads caused vehicles to slow down, with some drivers switching on headlights.

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).
