Chandigarh, May 23

Chandigarh reported 14 new cases—all from Bapu Dham—on Saturday, taking the total number of cases in the union territory to 233.

Bapu Dham colony is the worst-affected area in the city and a coronavirus hotspot.

Two women aged 38 and 36 and a 18-year-old male, all from the same household, had tested positive on Saturday morning. Eleven other people, including five teenagers, tested positive from two houses in Bapu Dham Colony later the same day.

Chandigarh’s COVID-19 tally now stands at 233, with 51 active cases. Its death toll stands at three.

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).
