The police have booked 14 shopkeepers and an industrial unit in Samba district for violating the prohibitory orders issued to observe complete lockdown in view of Covid.

Eight cases were registered against 10 shopkeepers for running their karyana shops during the day, violating the timing slots at Jhang, Keranwali, Raika Labana, Gurwal and Chak Baglan villages, Barota Camp and Pakhri area of Samba.

Two karyana shop owners were booked at Bari-Brahmana and a case was registered for violating prohibitory orders whereas two shopkeepers were booked at Vijaypur Police Station. Another case was registered against the management of Industrial Unit Kashmir Chemical, operating from at SIDCO Phase 1. The police said the drive would remain in force and stringent action would be taken against violators.

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).
