The Akal Academy at Baru Sahib in Sirmaur district has been declared a micro-containment zone after 18 cases came to the fore in the past 24 hours.

Deputy Commissioner, Sirmaur, RK Gautam, said a section of the Akal Academy had been declared a micro-containment zone after Covid cases were detected there.

As many as 85 persons were tested of whom 18 were positive today. They comprised 16 students of Class XII and two teachers. As many as 25 staffers will be tested tomorrow to rule out further spread.

Sub Divisional Magistrate, Pacchad, Shashank Gupta said the management had been directed to close the academy and send all students home.

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).
