Chandigarh, July 16

The Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) has decided to suspend all public activities of the party for the time being in view of the increasing cases of Covid-19 in the state.

This was stated by PPCC president Sunil Jakhar. He said the government was working to save the state from the Covid-19 pandemic and in such a situation it was imperative that people should cooperate to prevent the spread of the disease.

Jakhar said till the situation improved, the party would reach out to people through virtual media, but for the time being no public programme or meeting would be held. He urged everyone to follow health guidelines issued by the state government in letter and spirit. — TNS

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).
