Death of three Covid-19 patients on Saturday took the toll district to 39. With 68 new positive patients, the tally has risen to 1,452.

Civil Surgeon Dr Jasvir Singh said out of 68 cases, 27 are from Hoshiarpur city, eight from Chakkowal, three from Bhunga, five from Dasuya, six from Hajipur, three from Talwara, six from Garhshankar, two from Harta Badla, three from Mukerian, four from Tanda and one from Mahilpur.

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).
