Chandigarh, February 17

Chandigarh Administrator Banwarilal Purohit has decided to lift more of the restrictions in the City given the decline in Covid 19 cases.

Presiding over the Covid war room meeting with senior officials of Chandigarh Administration , he urged residents to “be vigilant and not to lower the guard”.

The OPD timings of PGIMER have been increased which were earlier opened only for one hour.

With steady decline in Covid 19 cases, the administrator has directed the closure of Mini Covid Care centres for now. These Covid Care centres were opened for the patients who did not have at home sufficient space/resources for treatment/quarantine.

Mohali has 436 active cases, Panchkula has 126 active cases while UT, Chandigarh has 435 active cases.

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).
