Mohali, January 27

Samples from one more poultry farm in Behra at Dera Bassi have tested positive for bird flu.

Mohali DC Girish Dayalan tweeted, “Case of avian flu confirmed by the National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases, Bhopal, at a poultry farm in Dera Bassi. The sample was collected as part of ongoing surveillance. Culling will be done as per norms.”

Evergreen Poultry Farm with 45,000 birds is 2 km away from the Alpha Poultry Farm where bid flu was detected a few days earlier. Samples of four dead birds were sent to the Northern Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Jalandhar, which further sent them to the NIHSAD, Bhopal, for confirmation. — 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).
