Panchkula, March 21

After Chandigarh, Panchkula has reported its first coronavirus case.

A 40-year-old woman from Kharak Mangoli in Old Panchkula, who worked at a salon where Chandigarh’s first coronavirus patient had visited, tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday.

She has been put up in an isolation ward at the Sector-6 General Hospital, here. Her son, though, has tested negative.

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).
