Shimla, July 20

There has been a huge spike in Covid cases in the district with 22 persons, including 18 of ITBP, testing positive at Rampur, taking the tally in the district to 93.

The ITBP personnel had returned to Rampur on June 23 after leave. In the past also, 25 ITBP personnel had tested positive in Jeori near Rampur and Kinnaur. All of them have now been shifted to the Covid Care Centre at Mashobra, near here. The total number of active cases in the district is 47.

An Army man, posted at Military Hospital, Jutogh cantonment near here, also tested positive. Besides, two migrant labourers, who had come from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, also tested positive at Mehandli village in Rohru.

Both have now been shifted and the village has been sealed.

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).
