Bathinda, June 22

Two policemen were among Bathinda’s six new coronavirus cases on Monday, district officials said.

A sub-inspector and a constable posted at Rama police station have tested positive, prompting authorities to sanitise the police station, Bathinda SSP Dr Nanak Singh said.

Health authorities are now tracking down their primary contacts to test and isolate.

Two other cases from Bathinda are people who recently undertook travel within the state. The third they said had no travel history.

At least one of those testing positive on Monday is undergoing treatment in Ludhiana.

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).
