Solan, March 5

Alarm bells have rung at the Baru Sahib-based Eternal University after 16 persons tested positive for Covid-19 today. The university recently resumed classes and students are coming from other states too.

Meanwhile, Sirmaur district today registered as many as 24 cases, including three from the Dolanji monastery, two from Rajgarh and three from Paonta Sahib.

Sirmaur DC RK Pruthi said the university authorities had been directed to ensure that students and staff were staggered during lunch, classes and other occasions. Those coming from outside should undergo an RT-PCR test and all Covid safety norms should be adhered to. He said the monastry authorities had also been directed to ensure testing of those coming from outside. — 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).
