Patiala, December 7

As many as seven cases of dengue were reported in Patiala today, taking the tally to 1,034. While the effect of dengue is now on a downward spiral due to a fall in the temperature, the total count of cases in the district this year has crossed last year’s count.

Last year, the district had reported 1,013 cases of dengue. Health officials said dengue cases could turn up during the coming days as well.

“The pattern of emergence of cases has been similar to that of last year. Most cases piled up in the month of November,” an official said.

The official said of the fresh cases reported on Wednesday, four were from Patiala city, one from Nabha and one each from the Bhadson and Kauli blocks.

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).
