Chandigarh, April 2

As Covid cases are going down, the Haryana Government today issued a notification that from now, there is no need to wear masks in public and workplaces. It withdrew its order dated May 27, 2020, vide which the wearing of face mask was made mandatory.

“No penalty or fine of Rs 500 shall be imposed for not wearing face masks in public/ work places,” said today’s notification.

It added, “However, the public is advised to adhere to Covid-appropriate behaviour and wearing of face masks, frequent use of sanitisers and hand hygiene and maintaining social distance are desirable.”

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).
