Chandigarh, June 23

Boating got off to a slow start on the first day at Sukhna Lake. With a decline in the number of Covid-19 cases, the UT Administration yesterday allowed boating at the lake with 50 per cent capacity.

On the first day, nearly 50 persons turned up for boating. An official said only four-seater boats were allowed to operate. The lake was closed for visitors when Covid cases started increasing.

A tourism official said all employees at the lake were fully vaccinated. — TNS

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).
