Hoshiarpur, August 16

With the confirmation of 23 new cases of Covid-19 in the district on Sunday, the tally of patients has increased to 850, while one patient was confirmed to be Covid-19 positive after her death in Chandigarh on Saturday. Civil Surgeon Dr Jasbir Singh said three cases were reported from Chakkowal block, four from Posi, six from Tanda, one each from Dasuya and Harta Badla, three from Hoshiarpur city, one from Mand Pandher, two from Paldi and one case from Rajwal village. A 36-year-old woman from Kandhala Shekhan village, who was admitted to the PGIMER, Chandigarh, died on Saturday. She was found positive in the report after her death. Also, 43 persons found positive in the district on Saturday.

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).
