“There will be no inconvenience to those involved in essential services and going to hospitals, railway stations, airports or weddings. We will issue speedy passes without harassment,” the CM said.

Cinema halls will function with only 30 per cent capacity.

During the weekend curfew, the movement of people for weddings (up to 50 people) and funerals (up to 20) will be allowed. — TNS

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).
