Chandigarh, August 21

For effective management of the Covid pandemic, the UT Administration today declared four affected areas as micro-containment zones in the city.

UT Adviser Manoj Parida said a block of 13 houses from house number 2403 to 2413 in Mariwala Town in Mani Majra, a block of 11 houses from house number 491 to 495 and 501 to 506 in Sector 15, a block of 32 flats from house number 6445 to 6448-C and house number 6449 to 6452 in Sector 56, and a block of six houses from house number 1613 to 1618 (ground floors only) in Sector 40 had been declared as micro-containment zones with immediate effect.

He said the micro-containment zones were declared on the recommendations of a committee comprising the MC Commissioner, District Magistrate, Senior Superintendent of Police and the Director, Health.

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).
