Hoshiarpur, May 18

The district administration on Tuesday declared Bassi Gulam Hussain and Rasulpur villages of Hoshiarpur as micro-containment zones.

DC Apneet Riyait issued orders under Section 144 of the CrPC regarding this. She said only medical emergency and essential services would be allowed in the micro-containment zones. Teams of the Health Department would conduct door-to-door survey and contact tracing in ward No. 1. In addition, all positive cases will be shifted to health centres as per the protocol.

The District Magistrate said the areas had been declared as micro-containment zones for 10 days. She said legal action under the Disaster Management Act, 2005, would be taken against the violators.

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).
