Chandigarh, March 30

To break the chain of coronavirus transmission, the UT Administration has declared 25 more containment zones in the city.

District Magistrate Mandip Singh Brar said the issue of the outbreak of Covid-19 was examined by a committee and a considered view emerged that the affected areas be declared as containment zones in the city.

Brar said regular screening and monitoring of the areas would continue. Frequent sanitisation of the areas would be conducted and residents were advised to strictly observe social distancing, wear masks and follow hand hygiene.

On March 25, the UT Administration had declared 14 containment zones in various parts of the city.

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).
