Panchkula, July 20

Nineteen more cases of cholera surfaced in Abheypur and Budhanpur villages today, taking the total number of cases in the district to 459.

A total of 53 patients, including 34 children, are admitted to the Civil Hospital, Sector 6, Panchkula.

The Civil Surgeon, Dr Mukta Kumar, said keeping in view the number of cholera patients, they had opened a ward reserved for Covid patients.

The Civil Surgeon said no more fatality due to cholera was reported from the district.

Earlier, a nine-year-old boy from Abheypur had died of cholera.

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).
