Chandigarh, July 11

A hawker in Chandigarh is winning hearts not just with his mouth-watering ‘choley-bhature’ but also with his great sense of responsibility in Covid times.

The street vendor has been offering free ‘choley-bhature’ to anyone getting vaccinated against Covid-19. He has hung a cardboard, clearly stating the ‘offer’, right next to his bicycle.

The initiative has been lauded by none other than VP Singh Badnore, UT Administrator and Governor of Punjab.

“Hats off to the spirit of #Chandigarh hawker! My heart filled with gratitude to see his bit of duty towards his country and the extent of awareness this man has favouring #vaccination and offering free #CholaeBhatura to all those who get vaccinated,” Badnore tweeted.

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).
