Ludhiana, May 16

Ludhiana’s district administration extended its Covid-19 restrictions on Sunday as the district continued to report over 1,000 cases a day.

A formal order issued by District Magistrate Varinder Kumar Sharma said it would continue having weekday curfew restrictions from 12 pm to 5 am and weekend lockdown from 12 noon on Friday to 5 am on Monday.

Punjab’s official health bulletin on Saturday reported 1,132 infections in the district on Saturday—the highest in the state—and 18 fatalities.

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).
