Chandigarh, February 1

Chandigarh reported 156 new Covid-19 cases, a bulletin from the union territory’s administration showed.

The UT has 2,844 active cases. The UT also recorded three fatalities—an 80-year-old fully vaccinated woman who had cardiac problems, a 72-year-old fully vaccinated man with Type-2 diabetes and hypertension, and a 75-years-old fully vaccinated man.

The daily positivity rate fell to 5.41 per cent on Tuesday.

The UT registered 537 recoveries on Tuesday.

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).
