Shimla, April 7

Making exemption in curfew to ensure unobstructed movement of vehicles involved in transportation of essential supplies, Deputy Commissioner, Shimla, Amit Kashyap today stated that all workshops of trucks on the national highway in the district would remain open.

He said all shops that mend punctured tyres would remain open from 10 am to 5 pm and repair or mechanic shops for Light Truck Vehicles (LTVs) will remain open every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 1 pm.

Insurance offices in Shimla would also remain open between 10 am to 2 pm. The drivers of vehicles carrying essential items were facing difficulty in getting vehicles repaired due to lockdown.

Moreover, the district administration has also sought cooperation from counsellors in helping people with depression, stress and related issues.

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).
