Jammu, August 8

The Jammu and Kashmir State Executive Committee (SEC) on Sunday ordered temporary relaxation on the number of people permitted to attend indoor and outdoor gatherings on the occasion of Independence Day, but directed district magistrates to ensure Covid-appropriate behaviour.

The relaxations were announced even as the SEC decided to continue various Covid containment measures, including the closure of the educational institutions and night curfew across the union territory till further orders. — PTI

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).
