Chandigarh, April 23

The Chandigarh Beopar Mandal has appreciated the decision of the UT Administration against imposing a lockdown in the city and extending the timings of the night curfew.

Mandal president Charanjiv Singh extended gratitude to the UT Adviser for considering the demands of traders and not extending the timings of the night curfew.

Earlier, members of the mandal organised a series of protests to show resentment against haphazardly announced lockdown in the city without any deliberations with the trader body.

The first protest was held by the United Market Welfare Association, Sector 17, which was led by association president Sanjeev Chadha.

The senior functionaries also applauded the initiative of the market associations of Sector 17, 23, 45 and 46 for organising a protest on the call of the Beopar Mandal.

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).
