Chandigarh, March 19

In the wake of crackdown on Amritpal Singh and his followers in Punjab, the UT Administration has imposed Section 144 of CrPc.

Carrying any kind of weapons within the UT has been prohibited.

Rally Ground in Sector 25 has been earmarked for any kind of rallies, protests to avoid congestions in the city.

A comprehensive order has been laid out by Chandigarh District Magistrate, Vinay Pratap Singh, in this regard.

It will be effective from zero hours on March 20 till midnight of March 20.

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).
