The Punjab Police Headquarters in sector 9, Chandigarh were sealed for three days for fumigation on Friday amid the coronavirus pandemic.

DGP Dinkar Gupta said the move was for routine fumigation and disinfection and purely a preventive and precautionary measure.

Five policemen had tested positive for the contagion last week. The DGP clarified that headquarter was not sealed but restricted entry was enforced.

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).
