Fazilka: Of the 162 persons who came from abroad in Fazilka district, 83 have been declared asymptomatic after they spent 14 days in quarantine. Civil Surgeon Dr Surinder Singh said 79 persons were still under observation.

Deputy Commissioner Arvind Pal Singh Sandhu has appealed to residents that those who visited Anandpur Sahib for Holla Mohalla from March 6 to 9 should confine themselves in their homes for the larger interest of the people.

The DC said the administration had also set up control rooms for sharing the information.

A complete bandh was observed in Fazilka on Sunday.

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).
