Chandigarh, October 10

To sensitise people about Covid and ways to keep themselves safe, the Chandigarh Police initiated a drive to make people pledge that they would wear a mask and follow social distancing.

Police personnel from the Mani Majra police station went across the area and distributed pages with a pledge written on them. People were made to read the pledge.

Inspector Neeraj Sarna, SHO, Mani Majra police station, said the drive was to make people realise the importance of wearing masks, washing hands and maintaining social distancing. “We want to rope in every citizen in the fight against coronavirus,” the Station House Officer added.

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).
