Chandigarh, March 18

To break the chain of coronavirus transmission, the UT Administration today declared six containment zones in the city.

UT Adviser Manoj Parida said the issue of the Covid-19 outbreak was examined by a committee and a considered view emerged that the affected areas be declared as containment zones in the city.

The affected areas declared as containment zones were parts of Sector 15, 29, 33-B, 38-B, 44-D, and 49-A. He said regular screening and monitoring of the areas would continue. Frequent sanitisation of the areas would be conducted, he added. —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).
