Bathinda, July 3

The Municipal Corporation Bathinda’s (MCB’s) building branch was sealed and sanitised today after a resident of Bhagu road succumbed to Covid-19 in Mohali.

The deceased had visited the building branch on June 10.

Bikramjit Singh Shergill, Commissioner, MCB, said, “Building branch’s staff was sent on one-day leave as the positive patient had visited the office on June 10. The entire office has been sanitised.” The building branch will reopen on Monday.

B Srinivasan, Deputy Commissioner, said five persons tested positive in the district and at present there are 26 active cases.

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).
