Meanwhile, a 32-year-old male and another male (20), both residents of the same house in Bapu Dham Colony have tested positive for Covid-19.

Another resident of Bapu Dham from a different house — an 18-year-old male has tested positive for nCoV. All are contacts of previous positive cases detected in two different houses. They are admitted in a hospital isolation facility.

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).
