New Delhi, May 17

Delhi recorded 4,524 fresh Covid-19 cases on Monday, the lowest the national capital has seen since April 5.

It recorded 340 deaths in a day, a health bulletin said.

Delhi’s positivity rate dipped to 8.42 per cent.

Delhi had been devastated by the deadly pandemic last month. Images of hospitals struggling to deal with the influx of patients, people drying of both the virus and shortage of oxygen around the city, and funeral pyres burning in crematoriums in the city made international headlines and became the face of India’s second deadly wave of the pandemic. — Agencies

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).
