Shimla, April 30

Having allowed 67,000 persons to enter HP, the state government has now shifted the onus of ensuring that they undergo home quarantine on municipal councillors and panchayat pradhans, who have been designated as surveillance personnel.

If found erring in their duty, they will face action under the HP Municipal Act (1994), Panchayati Raj Act (1994) and Disaster Management Act (2005).

More than 30,000 persons have entered the state in the past three days. As per the orders of Chief Secretary Anil Khachi issued today, stickers will be pasted outside the houses of those who have to undergo self-quarantine. — 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).
