Chamba, April 7

Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Rajesh Guleri today informed that seven out of 27 samples from the Saho area in Chamba district had tested negative at Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College (DRPGMC), Tanda (Kangra), on Monday. Other reports are awaited, he said.

The CMO said there were 34 close household contacts whose samples could not be taken today due to bad weather. The same would be done tomorrow morning.

On Monday, four out of eleven samples sent from the Tissa area had tested positive at the DRPGMC. They were asymptomatic, the CMO said.

The CMO said these four positive cases had been sent to the government medical college at Nerchowk in Mandi district to be kept under quarantine.

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).
