Patiala, April 24

Amid the rising Covid cases in the state, Patiala’s Government Rajindra Hospital reported 18 Covid deaths in the past 24 hours.

With this, the total Covid death count at the hospital has risen to 1,163.

The hospital authorities said the caseload at the hospital had increased over the past 72 hours.

Consequently, authorities had to open another floor at eight-storey MCH building—a dedicated Covid ward of Rajindra hospital.

Currently, 253 patients are being treated at the hospital. Of these, six are on ventilator.

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).
