Chandigarh, May 24

Welcoming the decision of the UT Administration to open all shops from 9 am to 3 pm, Charanjiv Singh, president, Chandigarh Beopar Mandal, said the decision would provide relief to traders.

Diwakar Sahoonja, chief spokesperson for the mandal, demanded priority vaccination of workers employed by traders. “As soon as the Covid situation improves, we will demand extension in the shop timings,” said Charanjiv Singh.

Kamaljit Singh Panchhi, a resident, and LC Arora, general secretary, Chandigarh Traders’ Association, Sector 17, also welcomed the decision of the Administration.

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).
