Shooting schedules have resumed, and actors are adjusting to the new ‘normal’ comprising masks, temperature checks and limited people on the sets. Debina Bonnerjee talks about her first day of shoot on the sets of Aladdin. Debina says, “While resuming shooting made me nervous, the arrangements made on the sets have been very good. The sets now have a three-tier entry system where your oxygen level is checked, along with your temperature and pulse rate. A sanitizing booth has also been set up, and a Covid-19 expert has also been stationed to perform regular checks on all of us. The feeling is still very nerve-wracking because you can’t see the virus. The precautionary measures are well in place, so what we can hope for is to be safe.”

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).
