Patiala/Faridkot/Ropar, July 14

Patiala continues to report alarmingly high number of coronavirus infections, with the district reporting 78 new COVID-19 cases on Monday—the highest single-day rise in infection in the district.

Patiala’s cases have been rising alarmingly since the beginning of July. The district now has 750 cases—more than twice the 329 infections it had on June 30.

Faridkot and Ropar also reported doctors testing positive. Six doctors tested positive in Faridkot and two in Ropar.

The development takes Punjab’s COVID-19 numbers to 8,265.

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).
