Hamipur, May 15

One more person, a resident of Siri village in the district, tested positive for corona virus today, taking the total number of Covid positive cases in Hamirpur district to five. His test report confirming corona virus infection was received in the evening and he would be shifted to dedicated Covid hospital at Bhota.

Deputy Commissioner Harikesh Meena said that this man is a close relative of a 50-year-old Covid patient of Bajrol village in Sujanpur subdivision.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the 50-year-old patient from Bajrol village, who had tested Covid positive two days ago, had stayed at the house of his relative who tested positive today. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate had been directed to seal Siri village, said Meena.

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).
