Jammu, June 20

In yet another spike in Covid cases, Ladakh on Saturday reported 92 new cases of the deadly virus, taking the number of cases to 718.

There was, however, some good news as 22 patients were cured and discharged from hospitals in the UT.

According to the Health Department officials of Ladakh, out of the total 718 active positive cases, there were 146 in Leh district and 572 in Kargil.

“Out of the total sample reports received, 24 samples were tested positive in Leh district, while 68 positive sample reports were of Kargil district. The Health Department sent 296 samples to the NCDC, New Delhi, for testing today,” officials said.

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).
