The Chandigarh Administration on Wednesday decided to discontinue the practice of pasting posters on quarantined houses and stamping on hands of quarantined persons.

Adviser Manoj Parida decided to follow Punjab Government’s practice due to several complaints from affected people regarding social ridicule and stigmatisation.

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).
