Shimla, April 8

As many as 258 new Covid cases and two deaths have been reported in the state in the past 24 hours.

A 63-year-old woman died of Covid in Mandi district while a 68-year-old man was the casualty in Sirmaur. A total of 3,062 samples were tested and 258 of them came out positive.

Meanwhile, the total number of active cases in the state rose to 1,807 while 188 patients recovered. Hamirpur reported the highest number of 57 cases, followed by Kangra (56), Mandi (54) and Shimla (26).

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).
