New Delhi, April 12

The Covid situation in Punjab appears to be slowly stabilising with the state managing to stay off the top 10 highest-burden segment for the fourth consecutive day today. Punjab, however, remains among the top 10 states with the highest share of daily fatalities.

Of the 1,68,912 new cases over the last 24 hours, 10 states contributed 83.02 per cent. These are Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, MP, Gujarat and Rajasthan. Maharashtra reported the highest daily new cases at 63,294, followed by Uttar Pradesh (15,276) and Delhi (10,774).

Punjab is working with central teams to contain the surge, with sources saying gaps in test-and-track strategy were being plugged. Of the 904 deaths reported in the last 24 hours, Punjab saw 59, Maharashtra 349 and Chhattisgarh 122. — 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).
