Ludhiana, March 19

Ludhiana reported 348 cases and eight COVID-19 deaths on Friday, taking the district’s total infections to 34,874.

These include six students and teachers, three healthcare workers, one cop, and 56 patients from out of the district. Among the casualties, one each was reported from Jalandhar and Nawanshahr.

The death toll stands at 1,612, and active cases, including 14 critical patients on ventilator support, touched 1,791.

However, 27,350 patients have already recovered from the virus in the district.

Despite the district being under night curfew since March 12, it has been reporting 300 fresh cases since the next day.

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).
