Mohali, March 25

Despite the curfew, a few shopkeepers opened shops in Mohali today due to which residents rushed to shops to purchase ration.

According to sources, around five shops in a row were found open at Sohana village near main gurdwara on the airport road here. A member of Inner Wheel Mohali Symphony Club said around 7 am, five shops were seen open and gathering of customers was also witnessed there. After two hours, the shops got closed. In the afternoon, one shop was seen open in Sohana village. In Industrial Area, Phase 7, a person was booked by the police who had opened his ‘khokha’ in the locality. Sub Inspector Baljinder Singh Mand said the suspect had been identified as Vikas Kumar and a case has been registered against him under Sections 188, 269 and 270 of the IPC at the Phase 1 police station.

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).
