Shimla, August 31

In the wake of ongoing natural calamity, the state government has decided to halt the practice of honouring dignitaries by presenting shawls, caps and bouquets during official events.

Earlier, the state government had suspended the customary guard of honour, traditionally accorded to VVIPs during their field visits, till September 15.

Attributing it to the ongoing natural calamity concerns, Chief Minister Sukhvinder Sukhu announced this decision recently and said, “In a significant move under ‘Vyavstha Parivartan’, the state government has decided to halt the practice of honouring dignitaries by presenting shawls, caps and bouquets during official events. As per the new directives, no formal honouring or felicitation ceremonies will take place at government functions till October 31.”

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).
