Chandigarh, July 16

Chandigarh reported 16 fresh COVID-19 cases on Thursday, taking the Union Territory’s total to 635.

About 17 patients recovered from the deadly disease and were discharged from the hospital.

Earlier, a 78-year-old from Sector 19 succumbed to the virus, raising the death toll to 11.

According to the UT Health Department, the elderly man was diagnosed with COVID at the Civil Hospital in Sector 6, Panchkula, on July 14.

He was a patient of chronic heart disease with coronary stenting. He was admitted to the Panchkula three days ago and was administered oxygen also.

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).
