Chandigarh, April 18

In view of the increase in Covid-19 cases in some states and UTs, the Chandigarh Administration has advised all the residents of the city to wear face masks in crowded places.

The administration added that wearing of masks needed to be especially ensured in the closed environments like while travelling in public transport and inside cinema halls, shopping malls, etc.

It said masks should also be worn during stay inside classrooms, office-rooms and indoor gatherings.

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).
