Chandigarh crossed the 11,000 mark with 244 fresh COVID-19 cases on Friday. The total number of cases stands at 11,212 now.

The city reported one death today that of a 55-year-old woman from Sector 56, who was suffering from diabetes and hypertension.

For the third day in a row, Chandigarh saw more recoveries than number of positive cases, as 335 persons were discharged today.

As many as 8,677 persons have beaten the virus.

Mani Majra continues to remain a hot spot as maximum of 24 cases were reported today from there. There are active 2,390 cases in the city at present.

With today’s death, the toll has risen to 145.

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).
