Chandigarh, April 29

In view of the prevailing heat wave conditions, the Punjab Government on Friday ordered closure of schools from May 14.

Since the beginning of the summer season in March this year, several parts of the country have been reporting severe hot weather. Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi are witnessing extreme heatwave conditions.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday issued an alert, asking people to avoid exposure and stay hydrated.

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).
