Chandigarh, October 24

Despite a ban, the city today saw bursting of crackers on the occasion of Karva Chauth. Earlier, the rule was broken during the Dasehra celebrations. Dasehra organisers had used crackers in effigies and also burst crackers during the celebrations.

The violation led to registration of FIRs against different Ramlila and Dasehra organising committees.

Ahead of the festival season, the UT Administration had on October 12 imposed a complete ban on the sale or use of crackers of any kind throughout the city.

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).
