The Punjab government issued ‘Unlock 3’ guidelines on Friday to open up a few sectors of the state’s stalled economy—a development that comes two days after the central government issued its own directives.

Punjab allowed board and universities examinations to be held. Following the Centre’s lead, the state government also allowed gymnasiums and yoga institutes to open ‪from August 5.

Night curfews however will remain in place from 11 pm to 5 am.

The developments come two days after the central government issued similar directives to open up an economy that came to a complete halt on March 25, when it called for a nationwide lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus.

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).
