Chandigarh, August 6

Chandigarh on Thursday reported 57 fresh coronavirus cases, taking the tally in the Union Territory to 1,327.

The new cases included three one-year-old boys.

The cases surfaced in many areas, including Sector 40, 41, 52, 22, Ramdarbar, Dhanas, Burail, Manimajra and Bapu Dham colony.

A total of 777 people have been cured, while the death toll stands at 20.

A total of 16,958 samples have been taken for testing and of them, 14,623 tested negative while reports in 81 cases are awaited, it said. There are 539 active cases in the Union Territory.

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).
