A total of 65 registered shops and commercial establishments have opted to operate their units 24×7 in the city. These shops, primarily in the grocery and food business, are of over a dozen multinational companies. With more than 100 markets, the authorities claim that the response is gradually increasing.

The UT Labour Department had issued a notification in June allowing shops and commercial establishments registered under the Punjab Shops & Commercial Establishments Act, 1958, to operate 24×7 without requiring specific permission from the Labour Department.

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).
