Hamirpur, May 31

As many as 20 villages in six gram panchayats are no more hotspots in the district as District Magistrate Harikesh Meena denotified these as containment zones yesterday.

The villages were declared containment zones after some residents of the panchayats had tested coronavirus positive. There are 107 positive persons in the district while 78 are active, 28 have cured and one has died.

The villages that got relief after being denotified as containment zones include Nauhangi, Kathlali, Naryah, Darbola, Kashmir, Dangri, Gwararu, four wards of Kaswar, Panjhali, Padhar, Majhog, Samela, Chuchmi, Adri and Labhan. Meena said villagers could now enjoy the facilities that were prohibited earlier.

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).
