Chandigarh on Friday reported 161 new cases of Covid-19 as the number of active cases drop to 2,758.

Six deaths were recorded due to the virus in the last 24 hours as the death toll reached 735.

A 34-year-old woman from Ramdarbar was among the fatalities.

The total number of cases in Chandigarh rose to 59,577 of which 56,084 people have been cured till date.

A total of 526 patients were discharged, including persons from home isolation who have completed 10 days and are asymptomatic, as per Health Ministry guidelines.

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).
