Chandigarh, April 20

To prevent mass gatherings, the UT Administration has decided to impose lockdown on the occasion of Ram Navami on Wednesday.

The decision was taken in a high-level meeting chaired by UT Administrator VP Singh Badnore here this evening.

The Punjab Government had already announced the lockdown in Mohali on Wednesday to prevent mass gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, the Panchkula administration has refused to impose a lockdown.

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).
