Chandigarh, July 31

The state government has announced opening all schools from Monday.

The schools will open after a gap of almost one-and-a-half years. As per the new Covid guidelines issued by the government, all schools are allowed to open for all classes from August 2. The government has said the schools shall follow proper protocol to ensure Covid-appropriate behaviour. The Department of School Education has been asked to issue instructions in this regard.

Apart from that, restrictions imposed on July 20 have been extended

up to August 10.

Besides, the district authorities have been asked to continue to ensure strict implementation of all the directives of the state government on Covid-appropriate behavior, including social distancing and wearing of face masks.

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).
