New Delhi, April 5

Worried over the mounting load of active Covid-19 cases requiring hospitalisation, PM Modi has called a meeting with CMs and LGs on April 8.

The development comes as the country’s daily cases touched 1,03,558 today, the highest since the outbreak of the pandemic last year.

Editorial: Covid surge

Preparedness for the worst would be the focus of the meet as hospitals continue to see surge in admissions.

Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, UP, Delhi, TN, MP and Punjab are reporting 81.90 per cent of daily caseload. The Centre has deputed teams for Punjab’s nine worst-hit districts — Amritsar, Kapurthala, SAS Nagar, Rupnagar, Patiala, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, SBS Nagar and Hoshiarpur. — 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).
