Chandigarh, August 4

The UT Administration has decided to allow all restaurants and eateries to remain open with 50 per cent capacity from 8 am to 10.30 pm in view of the decline in Covid-19 cases.

It also ordered that Class 7 and 8 of the schools will also start functioning physically from August 9 subject to parents’ consent for sending their wards to the schools.

However, online mode of teaching will continue. Detailed order in this regard will be issued by the Secretary, Education.

The order shall come into force with effect from August 5.

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).
