Chandigarh Administration will begin publishing names of people defying curfew orders in the city, UT Adviser Manoj Parida said on Monday.

Parida said in a tweet on Wednesday: “From tomorrow we will publish name and designation of VIPs violating curfew orders and going for morning and evening walk. Be warned”.

His next tweet, which came an hour later, said: “Do u (sic) know full form of VIP? Very Idiotic Person”.

Chandigarh is under curfew restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus. Chandigarh Administration extended the union territory’s curfew restrictions until May 3 to match the nationwide lockdown on Tuesday, and said any relaxations would be considered only after April 20.

The union territory has recorded 21 coronavirus cases so far.

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).
