Mohali, May 12

Tricity Salon and Spa Association is up in arms against mobile app-based home salon service providers starting operations. Concerned over the financial losses of salon, spa and beauty industry, the association has opened a front against individual hairstylists, who are advertising their at home services in social media groups. There are 500 salons and spas spread across Mohali, Chandigarh and Panchkula. Amar, who owns a studio and spa in Mohali, says, “We have information that freelancers associated with beauty services at home apps have started operations. These unlawful operations in the tricity may spread the virus due to the unregulated movement of freelancers and they will not only put the client at risk, but will also increase the risk of infection among the households.” TNS

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).
