Chandigarh, June 6

The UT Administration is unlikely to change the city’s status from red to orange zone soon.

A senior official said there was no immediate plan to rid the city of the red zone tag. It would not be right to bring the city in the orange zone at this juncture when new cases were coming up every day.

Sources said the Administration could take a decision on Monday to remove a few more pockets from the buffer zone of Bapu Dham Colony as no new case had been reported from these areas. — TNS

Chandigarh: Four fresh cases of Covid-19 were reported from the city on Saturday, taking the tally to 313. A 33-year-old man from Bapu Dham Colony, his 30-year-old wife and a five-year-old son have been found infected with the virus. A 40-year-old man admitted to the GMSH-16 also tested positive for Covid. TNS

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).
