A sanitisation tunnel along with hand-wash stations and dryer was on Wednesday set up at Sector 26 vegetable and fruit market.

Soon similar tunnels will be set up in other crowded places, including the two major hospitals in Sector 16 and Sector 32.

It’s a comprehensive “Fight COVID Station” having facility of thermal screening by taking temperature, pedestal operated hand-wash and soap dispenser, mist spray of sodium hypochlorite solution and hand dryer facility. It has been installed in Main Mandi Sector 26 and everyone who is visiting will have to pass through it.

Manoj Parida, UT Adviser, inaugurated the newly installed sanitisation tunnel.

He was accompanied by KK Yadav, Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, and Mandeep Singh Brar, Deputy Commissioner Chandigarh.

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).
