Day time movement will be allowed. However, the residents are advised to avoid non-essential travel. Morning walkers will be allowed from 6 am to 9 am, however, Sukhna Lake will remain closed.

The maximum number of guests will be 20 persons in marriage events. Written permission from Deputy Commissioner will be needed.

For funeral, the number will be restricted to 10. No separate permission will be required.

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).
