Chandigarh, March 12

Chandigarh on Friday reported 135 positive coronavirus cases, taking the UT’s total to 22,832. The highest single-day spike—after a gap of four months—was last seen on March 6 with 122 cases.

Over 1,500 people have been tested for the disease since Thursday. The city reports 936 active cases.

In the last 24 hours, 58 patients recovered from the deadly disease.

So far, 21,539 have been cured in the city.

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).
