Chandigarh, March 30

The Haryana Police have completely sealed all interstate borders to prevent migration of migrant labourers and to effectively control the spread of Covid.

Apart from law and order duty at check-points, police personnel are providing food and other essential daily needs to the poor and needy.

Giving this information here today, Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Navdeep Singh Virk said that Haryana Police have made elaborate arrangements to ensure strict lockdown in the state.

The movement of migrant labourers has also been contained by persuading them to move to one of the 461 temporary shelters set up for their stay. Food is also being provided with the help of NGOs, social workers and local administration. Virk said all public activities except the essential and emergency services were banned.

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).
