Chandigarh, August 19

Chandigarh Administration has declared Friday, August 20, as holiday on account of Muharram.

An administration order says that in partial modification of the administration’s earlier order, August 20, Friday, will now be observed as a restricted holiday in all government offices/boards/corporations/institutions, including industrial establishments, under the Chandigarh administration on account of Muharram, instead of the restricted holiday already declared for August 19, Thursday.

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).
