Hamirpur, September 10

As many as 23 persons, including nine police personnel, tested positive for coronavirus in Hamirpur district on Thursday while an assistant professor of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) died at the PGI, Chandigarh, of Covid. Dr Archana Soni, Chief Medical Officer, said that the infected police personnel included a 30-year-old woman.

Priya Darshi Viplove Kumar, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the NIT, died at the PGI, Chandigarh, and his sample came out positive after death. He had returned from Orissa a few days ago and was unwell.

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).
