The police on Saturday banned the use of firecrackers in Mumbai from May 11 till June 9, an official said.

According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), the preventive order has been issued under the Maharashtra Police Act. No person shall burst any firecrackers, including rockets, within the limits of the metropolis from Sunday till June 11, the official added.

The move came at a time when India and Pakistan were engaged in a military conflict. The two neighbours announced a ceasefire on Saturday evening. However, incidents of truce violation and shelling from across the border were reported within hours of announcement.

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).
