Chandigarh, October 15

The Haryana Government has allowed gatherings up to 50 per cent of the hall capacity in indoor spaces with a ceiling of 200 persons. In open spaces, gatherings up to 500 persons are allowed subject to the observance of Covid-appropriate behaviour.

Meanwhile, lockdown has been extended from October 18 to November 14. “The ‘Mahamari Alert-Surakshit Haryana’ is extended in Haryana along with guidelines issued earlier till November 14,” an order issued by Chief Secretary Vijai Vardhan said on Friday.

However, fully-residential universities would continue to conduct online classes till further orders.

As per other relaxations allowed earlier, conduct of entrance and recruitment examination by different universities, institutes or government departments and recruitment agencies will continue to be allowed.

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).
