Shimla, December 23

The Himachal Pradesh Cabinet on Wednesday decided to continue with night curfew in four districts of Shimla, Kullu, Kangra and Mandi, though the duration has been reduced by an hour as the timings now will be from 10 pm to 6 am.

Acceding to the request of hoteliers and traders, now it has been decided to allow the markets to remain open on Sundays.

It was being expected that the government could do away with the night curfew in view of decline in Covid cases and the request from hotel industry keeping in mind Christmas and New Year celebrations.

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).
