Shimla, June 5

As many as 818 Covid cases were reported in the state today, taking the tally to 194,742.

Besides, 19 persons died in the past 24 hours. Six deaths were recorded in Mandi, four in Kangra, three in Solan, two each in Sirmaur and Shimla and one each in Kullu and Chamba.

The highest number of 154 cases was recorded in Kangra, followed by 133 in Mandi, 100 in Bilaspur, 97 in Chamba, 79 in Shimla, 66 in Hamirpur, 60 in Solan, 43 in Una, 38 in Sirmaur, 22 in Kullu, 21 in Kinnaur and five in Lahaul and Spiti. The number of active cases declined to 9,484.

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).
