Chandigarh, June 7

Chandigarh on Sunday reported two new cases of coronavirus, taking the union territory’s case tally to 315.

A constable with the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), posted at the Punjab Civil Secretariat, tested positive for the contagion on Sunday. The man is a resident of Dariya. Another case was reported from the Modern Housing Complex (MHC) in Manimajra, where a 45-year-old man tested positive.

At present, Chandigarh has 37 active cases, while 275 have been cured of the deadly disease and five others have succumbed to it.

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).
