Chandigarh, September 30

With a sharp decline in fresh Covid-19 cases, the UT Administration has decided not to impose a fine of Rs 500 for not wearing a mask.

In the capacity as the chairperson, state executive committee, State Disaster Management Authority, UT Adviser Dharam Pal ordered to withdraw the clause of fine of Rs 500 for non-wearing of mask in a closed environment.

However, the general public was advised to follow standard operating procedures and advisories issued by the Health Department, UT, from time to time for Covid-containment measures, vaccination and other related aspects, including observing Covid-appropriate behaviour.

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).
