In addition, flag marches were conducted in different parts of the city, including Khuda Lahora, Bapu Dham Colony, Sector 26, Mani Majra, Ram Darbar and Dadu Majra colony by the police, ITBP, RAF and the CAPF.

The police said to enhance security, area domination and evening checkpoints were also being laid at various locations to routinely inspect suspected persons and vehicles.

RepublicDay

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).
