Abohar, August 2

A thief who tested Covid positive and was undergoing treatment at Saraswati Pharmacy College, Kalatibba Road, escaped from an isolation ward.

Assistant Sub-Inspector Des Raj said, “Rahul Kumar was nabbed with a stolen motorcycle on July 17. His second sample was taken on July 30 and his report came out negative on August 1. The accused escaped from a washroom.”

In another incident, a person arrested for his involvement in a group clash in Sant Nagar tested positive. Health workers reached the police station with an ambulance and the accused was taken to the isolation centre.

Angrej Singh, incharge, City-1 police station, said around six cops who had gone to nab the accused in Sant Nagar were quarantined in their houses. — OC

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).
