The World Bank on Sunday said migrant workers returning home could become vectors carrying coronavirus to unaffected states and villages and that preliminary findings indicated that many outmigration areas were likely to have Covid-19 cases in India. “The flow of migrant workers could easily become vectors carrying the virus back to other states and villages,” said the World Bank in its “South Asia Economic Update: Impact of Covid-19” report on Sunday. — PTI

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).
