Chandigarh, May 19

A local court here imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 on a Mani Majra resident who was caught roaming without a face mask in violation of the order issued by the District Magistrate.

The court pronounced the order after Beeru pleaded guilty for the offence committed under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.

The police had arrested the accused on May 16 last year and presented the challan in the court after registering the FIR against the accused under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.

Face masks were made compulsory for everyone in Chandigarh after lockdown was imposed.

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).
