Abohar, April 13

Determined to protect their villages from Covid-19 pandemic, members of gram panchayats and social activists have erected barricades in about a dozen villages near here. The activists have also made an arrangement to ensure that volunteers are patrolling along the barricades 24×7, with instructions to allow entry to outsiders only under pressing circumstances.

The villages where barriers have been put include Dalmirkhera, Dangarkhera, Pattibilla, Achadiki, Patrewala, Sayeedwala, Bhangarkhera, Chuhariwala Dhanna, Bodiwala Pitha, Hiranwali and Kabulshah Khubban.

Teams from Khuikhera-based community health centre had also started patrolling in these villages, senior medical officer Dr Saurabh Phutela 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).
