UT Admn defers ‘Op Shield’ drill

The UT Administration postponed a Civil Defence exercise, Operation Shield, which was planned for May 29, due to administrative reasons. As per directions received from the Centre, there will be no blackout or any mock drill on Friday, the Administration stated. Earlier, the Administration had announced that as part of a nationwide civil defence exercise, a blackout will be observed in the Kishangarh and IT Park areas on May 29, from 8 pm to 8.10 pm. The initiative aimed at simulating emergency blackout conditions and enhancing preparedness during potential hostile attacks.

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).
