The UT Administration has extended the ban on hookah bars in the city for period of two months.

In an order issued today, District Magistrate Anindita Mitra stated that hookah bars are operational in Chandigarh in a clandestine way. They serve flavoured hookahs, including tobacco molasses containing nicotine which was highly injurious to health of people, and at times, there was a suspicion that apart from tobacco, other harmful narcotic chemicals were also mixed with tobacco molasses served in these hookah bars.

Any person violating the order shall be punished under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.

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 four 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 paper. 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).
