Chandigarh, April 4

In view of a decline in Covid cases in the city, the UT Administration had made the wearing of masks optional at public places with immediate effect. The order further states that no penalty or fine shall be imposed for not wearing a mask in public or workplaces.

In his order, UT Adviser Dharam Pal said all remaining orders issues under the Disaster Management Act stood withdrawn. However, the public was advised to adhere to Covid-appropriate behaviour, including wearing of mask and maintaining social distance.

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).
