Chandigarh reports 119 COVID-19 cases on Thursday, taking the Union Territory’s total to 2,515.

The city’s death toll stands at 31.

Over 1,000 infections remain active in the city.

Earlier, a 74-year-old man from Sector 24 died at the PGI. He suffered refractory septic shock due to coronavirus and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

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).
