Official concerned said vendors registered with the MC need not pay rent of April and May in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The civic body had allowed 698 vendors during the lockdown/curfew to sell vegetables/fruits in the city.

Now, all other registered vendors will be able to work from their respective vending sites on odd-even basis. Officials said they had screened vendors before they were allowed to sell essentials.

The MC official said vendors will start operating from Wednesday. They will be instructed to wear masks and practise social distancing. Those in the containment zones will not be allowed to operate, said the official.

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).
