Chandigarh, February 7

Chandigarh recorded 96 new cases and two more deaths over the last 24 hours, a health bulletin from the administration showed on Monday.

Chandigarh’s active cases stand at 1,323. The bulletin recorded two more deaths—a 79-year-old fully vaccinated woman who was diabetic and suffered from hypertension, coronary artery disease, and acute myeloid leukemia; and a 57-year-old unvaccinated man who was diabetic and suffered from kidney problems and from obstructive pulmonary disease.

Chandigarh’s fatality count since the pandemic began stands at 1,141. The UT’s positivity rate stands at 5.18 per cent.

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).
