As the non-local workforce has started returning to the Valley with the onset of spring, the Kashmir Trade Alliance (KTA) urged the government to ensure their proper screening amid Covid threat.

Aijaz Shahdhar, KTA president, said workers, including labourers, masons and carpenters, must be screened. They usually live in crowded rented accommodations which could lead to more problems, he added. — TNS

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).
