Sixtytwo persons tested positive for Covid, while no death was reported due to the virus in the district today.

The total positive cases have reached 26,615, while there are 387 active cases in the district.

The number of persons who have lost their lives so far is 1,016. With the reopening of schools, many cases are being reported and school staff and students have been being advised to follow the Covid protocol, said Civil Surgeon, Dr Sukhjeevan Kakkar.

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).
