Chandigarh, June 18

The UT Market Committee has announced that the Sector 26 Mandi would remain closed daily from 12 noon to 2 pm for cleanliness work. During this period, no sale or purchase activities will be allowed and no vehicle permitted to enter the mandi.

This decision has been taken in response to concerns about the continuous movement of people and vehicles, which hinders cleaning operations. Despite the best efforts of the sanitation staff, maintaining proper sanitary conditions has been challenging due to illegal encroachments by vendors and the high volume of daily traffic. Approximately 500 vehicles enter the mandi every day for the loading and unloading of goods.

The two-hour closure from 12 noon to 2 pm has been chosen as visitor arrival remains low due to prevailing heatwave during that time.

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).
