Indian hockey team forward Mandeep Singh has tested positive for Covid-19, becoming the sixth national player to contract the virus, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) said today. The 25-year-old from Jalandhar is being treated along with the other players in Bengaluru, where the national camp will start on August 20.

Indian captain Manpreet Singh, Surender Kumar, Jaskaran Singh, Varun Kumar and Krishan Pathak had tested positive earlier. According to the SAI doctors, the players are showing only “mild symptoms”. — PTI

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).
