Mumbai, May 25

Maharashtra’s Minister for Public Works Department Ashok Chavan has tested positive for Covid. Chavan had been quarantined at home in his constituency Nanded for the past few days after his driver tested positive for the virus, according to party sources.

I am absolutely fine. Will return to Nanded soon — Ashok Chavan, PWD minister, Maharashtra

After tests conducted on the former CM came positive, he decided to shift to Mumbai for treatment. “I am absolutely fine. Will return to Nanded soon,” he told reporters in his hometown before boarding a cardiac ambulance for Mumbai. Sources said Chavan is presently asymptomatic. — TNS

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).
