Ghaziabad (UP), July 11

Ghaziabad saw traffic congestion on Saturday after the borders of Uttar Pradesh along Delhi were sealed due to the 55-hour lockdown imposed by the state government, police said.

Only the vehicles plying for essential services were permitted to go to and fro Delhi while vehicle owners who could not show proper documents were turned back, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Indirapuram circle, Anshu Jain told PTI.

Most of the border areas were sealed on Friday night and will remain off limits till Monday morning during the lockdown. The Maharajpur-Anand Vihar border was fully barricaded and the movement of vehicles was restricted.

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).
