The Chandigarh Administration has eased curfew restrictions until 1 am for Janmashtami, officials said on Wednesday.

This easing of restrictions would be limited to one day, that is on Wednesday until the early hours of Thursday.

Curfew restrictions in Chandigarh, imposed in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus and which have been eased over the last few months, are from 10 pm to 5 am.

The administration asked people to follow COVID protocols such as avoiding congestion, strictly adhering to social distancing and wearing masks as they head to temples to offer their prayers.

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).
