Sangrur, January 7

The health authorities of Malerkotla have finally traced a resident who tested positive for Omicron variant and had gone missing from his house. The authorities have isolated the patient at his residence.

SMO Dr Mohd Akhtar said, “As the Omicron patient is asymptomatic, we have isolated him at his house. Samples of all his relatives have been collected.” The Health Department had got information on January 6 that a resident had come back from Tanzania on December 28. His sample was taken at IGI Airport, New Delhi, and he tested positive for Omicron. However, when the health teams went to his house on January 6, he was found missing. — TNS

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).
