Ambala, January 14

Following continuous surge in Covid cases in the district, the administration declared nine localities as micro-containment zones in Ambala on Friday.

In the orders issued, Deputy Commissioner Vikram Singh has earmarked Jandli, Durga Nagar, sector-9 and sector-10 of Ambala City and Babyal, Defence Colony, Dyal Bagh, Mahesh Nagar and Kacha Bazaar of Ambala Cantonment as micro-containment zones due to higher positivity rate.

The Deputy Commissioner said, “Micro-containment zones have been declared in the areas where positivity rate is high. Directions have been issued to the officials concerned to ensure that Covid guidelines are strictly followed.”

With 508 fresh cases on Friday, the number of active cases jumped to 3,047 in Ambala.

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).
