Chandigarh, May 5

With the state government facing heat for being lax in testing Hazur Sahib returnees, the standard operating procedure (SOP) of handling persons entering the state has been put in place.

So far, 8,739 people from other states and 2,122 from abroad have declared to have returned to Punjab.

A couple of days ago, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh had announced that anyone entering the state would be medically examined and quarantined before being allowed to go home.

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).
