Chandigarh, September 11

The Chandigarh Administration has decided to discontinue the weekend closure of Sukhna Lake.

The lake was closed for people on Saturday and Sunday due to sudden rise in coronavirus cases in the city.

The order was issued by Adviser to UT Administrator Manoj Parida. The police authorities will, however, strictly enforce wearing of masks and social distancing among visitors.

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).
