An 82-year-old man from Burail died of the virus at Sector 32’s Government Medical College on Sunday night, a bulletin issued by Chandigarh administration said, making him the union territory’s 30th fatality. The bulletin said he died of respiratory failure because of a complex lung injury that the infection had caused.

The development takes Chandigarh’s coronavirus tally to 2,216. About 45 per cent of the cases are still active.

The development comes on a day when Mohali recorded 102 new coronavirus cases—its highest single-day spike yet—and Panchkula reported four new COVID-19 deaths.

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).
