Chandigarh reported 1,795 new cases over the last 24 hours, a health bulletin from the Chandigarh administration showed on Saturday.

Chandigarh has 8,511 active cases—over 470 per cent rise since last Saturday. Chandigarh’s added over 9,000 new cases in the same period—67 per cent of this since Wednesday, when the union territory began reporting over 1,000 cases a day.

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).
