Chandigarh, May 21

Chandigarh reported 14 more Covid-19 deaths, a health bulletin from the Chandigarh administration showed on Friday—a development that would come as a cause for worry for a city that has otherwise been reporting a steady decline in the number of infections since last week.

The union territory reported 406 new cases in the last 24 hours, the bulletin showed. Active cases now stand at 5,675—a 30 per cent decline since last Friday. The UT’s total death toll since the pandemic began last year stands at 680.

Chandigarh recorded 790 recoveries in the last 24 hours, the bulletin showed.

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).
