Ghazipur, March 2

Delhi Police on Tuesday afternoon blocked the Ghazipur border again, hours after it reopened a portion of NH-9 for traffic movement. Commuters prefer to travel from Ghaziabad to Noida through this route.

The road, which was shut post R-Day violence on January 26, was suddenly opened for traffic around 1:30 am.

The decision left the volunteers—who patrol the stretch during the night—in a state of panic as the road suddenly witnessed traffic.

However, the road was shut by noon again.

“We opened the road to aid maintenance work being carried on the highway,” a police official said.

The CISF personnel, who were manning the barricade, said that they were not aware about the sudden change of heart by the police.

“We only come here by 2. The barricades were always there,” he said.

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).
