Chandigarh, July 5

Over the threat of a probable third Covid wave, the Chandigarh Traders Association, Sector 17, has requested the UT Administration to close down Sukhna Lake over the violation of Covid-appropriate behaviour. Association president Kamaljit Singh Panchhi said a meeting was today held to discuss the current situation of Covid in Chandigarh. “We need to take extra care because people have started getting careless towards Covid and this can be fatal,” he said.

He said they had suggested the UT to close Sukhna Lake for public for the time being otherwise the traders of the city would have to eventually suffer and would be asked to shut their shops down. — TNS

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).
