Chandigarh, May 17

Chandigarh Administration said on Monday it was extending its curfew restrictions by a week.

Current curfew restrictions will be in force until 5 am on May 25, the Chandigarh Administration says in its new order.

The development comes after there were talks of restrictions being eased as cases came down in the union territory.

Chandigarh reported 620 new Covid-19 cases and six deaths on Monday.

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).
