Chandigarh, January 7

Chandigarh district magistrate imposed a night curfew in Chandigarh from 10 pm to 5 pm with immediate effect.

The new order, which notifies decisions taken in a War Room meeting on Thursday, says only essential services can function between 10 pm and 5 am. People travelling interstate and those going to or from the airport, the railway station and the ISBT bus stand will be exempted, as will pregnant women and patients going to get medical care.

Restaurants and bars can function at 50 per cent seating capacity and must close by 10 pm. Malls and food courts must also close by then. Delivery executives will be allowed to travel on the production of a valid identity card.

The new order comes into effect immediately.

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).
