Mohali, March 15

In view of a surge in the Covid cases, the administration today advised all hospitals in the district to avoid elective surgeries.

District Magistrate Girish Dayalan said all hospitals should dedicate resources towards the treatment of Covid patients. He said all L-2 and L-3 hospitals shall provide an inventory of their beds, including ICU/ventilators, to the district nodal officer and update the occupancy and vacancy numbers daily. He said six micro-containment zones had also come up — one at Shivalik Vihar, Zirakpur, two at Phase 10, Mohali, and one each at Dharamgarh in Lalru, National Dental College in Dera Bassi and Vikas Nagar in Nayagaon. — TNS

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).
