Chandigarh, August 11

To curb the spread of the deadly disease, two more containment zones were declared in the city on Tuesday.

On the recommendation of a committee, UT Adviser Manoj Parida has announced a block with 24 houses, from house number 2,778 to 2,801, at Sector 40, and block with 23 flats with one garage, from house number 1,185 to 1,190 (four-storyed), in Sector 46, Chandigarh as containment zones.

On August 3, six houses in Manimajra, and a block in EWS Colony in Dhanas had been declared as containment zones to contain the virus.

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).
