Haryana recorded the highest daily spike in over four months on Thursday as 2,872 more people tested positive for coronavirus, the Health Department said.

Three persons succumbed to the infection in Yamunanagar, two in Ambala, one each in Hisar, Kurukshetra, Jhajjar, Fatehabad, Kaithal and Jind districts, the bulletin stated.

The tally rose to 3.08 lakh with 2,872 new infections, the highest since November 20 when the state reported 3,104 cases in a single day, it said.

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).
