Chandigarh, September

District Education Officer Harbir Singh Anand has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. He is the second person from the District Education Office to contract the infection in last four days.

Earlier, a District Education Office employee had been infected by the virus.

Chandigarh had reported the highest single-day spike of 276 cases on Thursday, taking the tally to 5,065.

Also, the death toll in the UT reached 63 with four more 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).
