Chandigarh, September 24

With 1,793 fresh cases and 76 deaths, the state Covid count reached 1,05,220 on Thursday.

The total number of causalities stands at 3,066. There are 20,679 active cases in the state and 81,475 patients have recovered. Besides, 443 patients are on oxygen and 76 on ventilator.

In the district-wise breakup of new cases, Ludhiana topped the chart with 206 cases, followed by Jalandhar (188), SAS Nagar (169), Bathinda (158), Amritsar (146), Patiala (135), Hoshiarpur (108) and Gurdaspur (104).

In terms of fatalities, SAS Nagar topped the state with nine deaths, followed by Bathinda, Jalandhar and Kapurthala, which recorded eight deaths each. Ludhiana reported seven deaths.

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).
