Twentyfive persons, including seven women, tested positive in Sirmaur district.

RK Pruthi, DC, said 23 persons were from Paonta Sahib and two from Nahan. Seven persons were from the staff of Mankind Pharma, whose one unit had been closed after the detection of positive cases. In Paonta Sahib, cases came from Pipliwala, Friends Colony, Bhatawali, Shamsherpur, Nariwala, Sabjimandi and Kotrivyas areas.

They were the contacts of Power Minister Sukhram Chaudhary. As many as 115 have tested positive in Paonta Sahib.

The DC also notified the general block of Mankind Pharma’s unit 1 as a containment zone at Paonta Sahib after its workers tested positive. He said the recovery rate in the district was 75.04 per cent and there were 147 active cases while 22 recovered today.

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).
