In the wake of a sudden spike in the coronavirus cases, the Chandigarh Traders Association, Sector 17, has appealed to shopkeepers not to allow customers to enter their shops without wearing a mask.

Association president Kamaljit Singh Panchi said the shopkeepers had been asked to tell customers to put on a mask while entering the premises. “They should also wear a mask in their shops or offices while interacting with customers and spread awareness,” he said, adding that violators could be penalised. Panchi said shopkeepers and customers must wear masks as doctors had warned that this time the corona wave could be more dangerous.

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).
