Chandigarh, August 23

With 1,096 fresh cases, the total number of Covid cases reached 54,386 today. The death toll went up to 603 with six more deaths.

Six staff members of the Vidhan Sabha, including PA to Speaker Gian Chand Gupta, tested positive for Covid.

The monsoon session of the Vidhan Sabha was slated to start on August 26.

According to the state health bulletin, a maximum of 134 cases were reported from Panipat, followed by Gurugram (113), Faridabad (98), Ambala (97), Hisar (96) and Sonepat (66).

While Ambala reported two deaths, one death each was reported from Hisar, Kurukshetra, Sirsa and Kaithal.

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).
