Panipat, March 26

Amid the Covid scare, residents of various villages in Panipat have barred the entry of outsiders in their villages.

They have not only banned entry but also banned the people from going outside the villages. The youths in villages have barricaded the roads.

Score of villages — Dehra, Pawati, Mahavati, Hathwala, Chulkana, Manana, Pattikalyana, Dicadla, Bilaspur, Urlana Kalan, Atawla, Jalalpur Pratham, Kutanai, Kurar and Sanoli Kalan — locked down their villages.

The village panchayats sanitised their villages, streets and public places and then locked those down. Youths in the villages have started holding ‘theekri pehras’ to check the entry and exit of people.

As per the information available, the youths are standing guard 24 hours at all entry roads to their villages. — TNS

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).
