Rohtak, May 1

Keeping in view the rapid surge in Covid cases, traders at Shouri Cloth Market have decided to impose a self lockdown for a week till May 9.

This was stated by Gulshan Ishpuniyani, president, Shouri Cloth Market Association. The market has more than 1,200 shops of wholesale and retail where customers from Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other districts of the state come to buy clothes.

Rajeev Malhotra, president, Rohtak Wholesale Cloth Mercantile Association, said the decision to impose the lockdown in Shouri Market was taken after discussing the prevailing situation. Besides, the Railway road market too would remain closed up to May 7.

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).
