Chandigarh reported eight new Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, a government health bulletin said—the lowest cases recorded in the union territory since March.

The UT has recorded no deaths in the last four days.

Chandigarh now has 181 active cases, with an average positivity rate of 1.43 per cent over the last week. The fatality count stands at 807.

The bulletin said 4,27,626 people over 18 have taken at least one dose in the union territory, and 84,246 have been fully vaccinated.

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).
