Chandigarh, May 9

With a continuous surge in Covid cases, the Haryana Government today extended the lockdown in the state by another week till May 17.

Home Minister Anil Vij, however, refrained from calling it a lockdown. “Surakshit (safe) Haryana announced from May 10 to 17. Stringent measures will be taken to contain the spread of Covid,” Vij tweeted.

The movement of only essential services would be allowed with people requiring Covid passes for any movement within or outside the state.

Sources said with over 13,000 cases and more than 150 deaths being reported daily, the strict restrictions would continue to be in place till the situation improved. Haryana on Sunday reported 151 deaths.

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).
