Shimla, December 19

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu today tested positive for Covid ahead of his scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, resulting in postponement of all his programmes as well as the Vidhan Sabha session.

The test was conducted as part of protocol before the meeting with PM Modi, scheduled for 11 am today. It was a courtesy call by Sukhu after assuming the CM’s office. He was to return to the state capital in the afternoon after the meeting. “All programmes scheduled from December 21 to 24 have been postponed,” the CM’s media adviser said. The winter session was to begin on December 22.

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).
