Dharamsala, March 2

The Gyuto Tantric Monastery, the establishment of the Central Tibetan Administration, has become a Covid hotspot in Kangra district. In the past few days, 154 out of 330 monks staying in the monastery have tested positive for the virus.

Today, 10 Covid cases were reported in the district, including three monks in the Gyuto Tantric Monastery. Kangra CMO GD Gupta said during random checking on February 23, 24 monks in the monastery tested positive for Covid. Later all monks were tested and till date 154 monks had been found infected with the virus, he added.

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).
