Jammu, July 7

The Jammu and Kashmir Government has decided to open all public parks for the general public across the Union Territory (UT) from tomorrow.

The decision has been taken amidst the gradual unlocking process of the Covid-19 pandemic as a follow-up of Lieutenant-Governor (L-G) Girish Chandra Murmu’s directions to reopen the tourism sector in J&K.

“We have decided to open all public parks from tomorrow. All visitors should strictly observe the already given protocols and medical advice related to Covid-19. We will ensure thermal screening of all visitors and no unfit visitor would be allowed to enter the parks,” said Baseer Ahmad Khan, Adviser to the L-G.

The UT administration had closed all parks and gardens across Jammu and Kashmir in the second week of March following the outbreak of COVID-19.

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).
