Health Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu on Wednesday asked the Health Department to expedite the testing process in the district to keep the spread of Covid-19 at bay. The minister said testing of samples was a major challenge for the state government, which would be overcome soon. The government was mulling to set up or tie up for a state-of-the-art laboratory to ensure quick report of the sampling.

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).
