Sixteen persons from village Moranwali, one of the coronavirus hotspots in Garhshankar, returned from Maharashtra’s Nanded Sahib on Saturday night.

Immediately after their arrival in the village, they were screened by a health department team and were quarantined in their homes as a precautionary measure. Their samples for the Covid-19 test will likely be taken by Monday.

The group had gone to Nanded in a rented mini-bus on March 18. After being stuck there for almost a month due to lockdown, they got the necessary permission to return to Punjab two days ago.

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).
